Hi, Bill -- I'm definitely no Maggie guru, but I'll take a stab at your questions. First off, I think that the problem of limited vertical dispersion isn't really a big deal for any of the Maggies. Basically, for the shorter ones, it's only audible when you stand up near them, but I personally don't listen to music standing up. Also, this "problem" may also have the benefits of reduced floor and ceiling bounce. The vertical venetian blind effect actually takes place in the horizontal plane (like venetian blinds turned 90 degrees) and refers to the phase cancellations that occur between the side-by-side panels. I think this is more of a problem and is one of the major reasons for the limited sweet spot of Maggies. Hope that this helps clarify my comments. Good listening -- Dave
