I think the Ultrasones do a nice job of 'out of the head' imaging, but they can have a lighter/brighter tonal balance. it will be hard duplicating the maggie sound (simulating a line source with point sources......

i love my denon 7000s because they have what i call "speaker bass", which is important to me. 650s, 701s are very good for their prices, 800s are quite wonderful, but are extremely revealing, and need a fair amount of voltage swing to come alive.

you may want to try the Hifiman or Audeze, as they are similar tech to the Maggies
