they'll always have > $100K (heck even $200K) worth of gear pushing em'; (including $30K speaker cables). No way I'd ever be able to approach that level of performance in my listening room with my 20s.I've always felt Maggies are simply more than sound delivery devices, but rather 'portals' in which they reveal whatever's feeding them.

Yeah...in spite of it sounding absurd its quite true that the matching equipment can be quite a lot more expensive then the 20.7s.
I a nsee where the high end clientel would want big stuff powering them.
I have to say with the modest equipment I heard the 20.7 with I was still impressed.
But I agree the equipment matters.
I am a big upper range freak, so knowing i basically already havee the same tweeter in nearly the same application means I can be rather certain I know what that portion of the spectrum will sound like in my home.
ie the 3x and 20x series do they get the pampered treatment. They also carry the 12s and 1.7s but they typically run those on the 'within reach' electronics.But then again you're talking to a guy who felt his 1.6s sounded magnificent (which they did) with an old vintage Marantz 1040 integrated that he spent less than $300 on.
