Replacement for Maggie's?

If you like Maggies, you will love Apogees. The problem is finding a pair. (PM me - I have a paair of Calipers for sale).

They are a bit more cohesive than a Maggie, being all ribbon. They have the same kind of power requirements but are more dynamic by far and have better bass.

yeah, that's why I did not suggest Apogees. ;-) I almost did!

Try to find a pair of the current Martin Logan Reserve Series to give a listen. Nice big curved panels with a cone woofer or woofers. Crossover is between 270Hz and 375Hz depending on the model. The Summit X has 2 powered 10" woofers per side.

They are supposed to be the best integration between woofer and panel by ML yet.

Guys, I think the op is having some WAF issues. That is one reason he didn't want to go with the Maggie 3.7's. More planar suggestions may not be what he is after.

Brownsfan is on the right path. While I love what the 1.6's do I am craving the things that the appropriately suggested 3.7's would give, but WAF is standing in the way. The 1.6's are about as large as I can go. I guess I am looking for suggestions that have the good qualities of a planer and the full range of dynamic cones. Magico's are probably a little out of my range, while I am willing to wait around for a great deal about $5000 used price would be my max. Thanks everyone for the suggestions already, I know I am asking for a suggestion that may not exist at the price range.
