Very nice .....i have had quite a few maggies i was a salesman yrs ago .. 

I don't see myself ever going away from them...........they are the one element of my system I have no desire to tweak or change up......

There killer in the right room there tough the beat .. Mine were tubed cj powered 

I've recently changed, (for better or for worse) my system dramatically.

The constant: VPI Classic 3 Sig SE
My other components/cables are pretty updated.

When I recently went into the $4k speaker range, I was astonished!

(My amp is in the $6k range, although it punches WAY above),

I found that my current phono cable wasn't up to snuff.

It wasn't until I made a change in my Acoustical treatments that addressed my specific issue, (bass boom/bloat), that I was able to put my system as a whole, in another range altogether!

Having said all of this... it is my (room) that I've paid most attention to. I recently went with some different bass traps in the front wall corners designed to specifically address the issue I thought I had. WOW!

Nuf' said.
