i have both one in my office which is a 250sqft room and the other in my living room a 400sqft area. depending on the material you play its kinda different and both are spledid to listen to , i have always been a fan of ribbons and electrostatics, apogee stage and centaurs from eons ago but never had a maggie, when the new 1.7 came out i ordered them without auditioning them. i didnt want to spend tonnes of money on the amps so i paired them with an emotiva xpa 2 power and a idecco pre, and they sound great, im sure they could sound better but at what cost only you need to know what your wallet can afford. The ML sound is a little harder to pinpoint as the sweetspot is kindda of tiny but they are really fast and bass tight speakers, since i use them for an av setup paired with the pioneer sc 27 using class D amplification they too sound good for the money. if you play electronic music the ML win hands down , but if u like jazz and classical ill go for the maggies. ps both play really loud and full but im going to spend a little more on the ML fronts by adding a power amp probably a khartago to give the magies a run for the money.
