Face it folks, most people think we are out of our minds, and that anyone who buys anything more expensive or esoteric than an ipod is a an elitist snob, hopeless sucker for scam artists or a candidate for institutionalization. Rather than using m... 
Creek Destiny -- Maggies?
I spent many a happy year listening to my MGIIIs with the venerable Aragon 4004 MKII. Seems like there's always a couple for sale here, and they hold their value if you want to swap in the future.

A blood oath among Audiogonistas

Less fatiquing
Your problem is NOT your speakers. Have you ever met an audiophile who didn't recommend that you trade up? (OK, I do it all the time myself). Seriously, I have a second system with the very similar 7PT PSBs and an NAD receiver. I have a Denon play...
