The people that are usually disatisfied with Maggies are people that don't have the proper listening room for them. They are big speakers that sound best pulled out away from the walls. They have a relatively small sweet spot so they are ideal for a dedicated music room. They are extremely revealing - if you feed them a bright signal they will sound bright. The Bryston gear you own should sound pretty good with Maggies but if you want a warmer, smoother sound you might consider spending some of your budget on a tube preamp. The 1.6's with the $300 crossover upgrade has been reported my many to come reasonably close to the 3.6's which would leave some of your budget for a preamp change, etc.. In the right listening room, Maggies can be an awesome experience (but you won't hear this at most dealer setups).
