Maggies
Alan
Yes, and Sonus Faber. SF makes it easy to get lost in the music rather than the detail, and yet marvel at the resolution at the same time. A pretty astute balancing act.
What I like in correctly set up Maggies is that (esp. with a good sub or two), there's very little to distract you from the music--no overshoot and ringing, no cabinet resonances, less room interaction and resonant modes, less sidewall and floor bounce. You get the speed and detail while retaining the body of the music. The presentation scales up and down according to the ensemble size as well. I didn't realize how much cabinet noise I was listening through until I brought my Maggie 1.7s home last Fall.
