Or you can forget gimmicks and just get a high quality ESL with high WAF and easy placement options.

I understand what you're saying and your point is valid ... and those certainly are gorgeous looking speaks. But one of the things I love about Maggies is not having to pay for cabinet-maker grade woodworking when what I'm interested in buying is great quality audio.
Then too I'm a single guy so ...
I bought these for the great audio quality. The fact that they have high WAF is just a bonus, although my wife never complained about the looks of our Maggies.
"The fact that they have high WAF is just a bonus, although my wife never complained about the looks of our Maggies."
The "looks" may be acceptable, but how about their being somewhat far into the room, e.g., ~four feet from that front wall? Perhaps this *your* room and it doesn't have to be used for anything else. My kids used to have a great time running around and hiding behind my Tympanis. I always anticipated a disaster, having speakers and/or children requiring stitches.
The fact that the JansZens don't have to be 4 feet out into the room was in fact an other consideration for buying them. They sound better than the Maggies I had and they are considerably more practical. They are smaller and only 22" off the front wall. While they use dipole ESL panels they are in sealed enclosures. They could theoretically be placed against the wall, although that is not optimal for most speakers including these.
