Speakers better than the MMGs?


I currently use a pair of MMGs. Love them...but are there anything else out there that beats it and cost around $500-600?

Have been looking around but always ended up doubting that they would sound better than the MMGs....Has anyone own the MMG and then later bought something else that was much better? Price must be around the $500-600 though...that's my budget!

Anyone heard of Tube Audio Designs TAD-805C speakers?

Thanks!!

The complaints listed in the last post can be largely eliminated with crossover mods, or better yet- the full fledged Magnestand mod. I've just bought a set of Peter Gunn's MMG's to upgrade from the modded SMGa's I've been using. Lows more defined and to 45hz, highs are better than the old speakers. Dynamics imaging, depth, all greatly improved!
The only fault I can name is they reveal the weaknesses of the upstream hardware!
Went to 1.6's from original MG-1's of about 25 years.
Won't look back.
Better front end with plenty of power....and the usual-for-Magnepan wisdom of doubling into 4 ohms.
I sold my MMG's after my wife bought me a pair of Infinity Beta-50's (she said they looked "sweet"). If you can handle using a "mainstream" speaker in the midst of audiophilia, they're a good choice.
Triangle Titus 202s cost me $500 new several years back and were the first box design speakers I owned that convinced me I might be able to live without the larger (than mmg) Magnepan 1.3cs I also owned at the time.

Fast, clear and highly detailed with accurate imaging, big, transparent sound stage, easy to place, sound absolutely top notch with good amplification at both the lowest and highest volumes.

Add a sub and you can compete with the big full range boys out there as well with about any kind of music save perhaps for large scale classical pieces at realistic listening volumes, but they ain't no slouches either with this most challenging category of music.
