Heard Maggie 3.7i with..

There are two sensible routes:

1.  Listening habits>room acoustics>speakers>amplification

2.  Decor>listening habits>speakers>amplification

I am not a fan of route 2, but I will hazard a guess most purchasing decisions follow that progression.

So much for the op’s question. This turned out to be another mc v. Others discussion. We all like what we like because it’s subjective. Let’s just agree we all like music and all have different hearing. 

PLENTY of audiophiles "can’t stand me". I chalk it up to two things: First I am not Kissing any dudes behind for any reason. A whole pile of men can’t stand an ’Uppity Woman’.       
I clearly know as much as most other audiophiles. I am not here to ask for assistance. I am handing it out. Another strike against me for being a Woman. (Knows way too much.)
You post shows it clear as can be when you add it (what you think is an insult, but is totally an indictment against your own attitude) writing: "" While others may kiss up to you because you are one of the few or only woman here "" SO you actually think others hold me up due to my being ’one of the few women here" ??
I suggest it is because I say what I think. No holds barred. And I know audio stuff, and to the best of my ability I tell the truth about my experiences in audio... It has ZERO to do with my being a Woman.

@secretguy, what if you end up not getting a pair of the 3.7i? Why not wait, and get an amp when you get the speakers. The dealer may make you a good package price offer. Plus, by the time you get the speakers, there may be a newly-introduced amp that works particularly well with them---like the Sanders Magtech, but at half its' price.

Yah...I knew that, of course. I've just had the urge to buy something. LOL...and my current situation rules out Maggies. Although I wish I hadn't sold mine.
