The MMGs should be about the right size for your room. Once you hear
them, there's usually no going back to box speakers.

Should work well given his tastes, gear and priorities.
Maggies are great but do not do micro-dynamics.
Don't play well quietly, don't play well loudly.
But at medium volume on pop music they're great.

I'm not sure you have heard them set up correctly and with the right amp and equipment.
I had MG3.6's with a PASS X250 and they had detail, midrange and bass slam, maybe not pressure impact. I can agree they sing when pumped with power.
I've owned maggies at least five times in the past 35 years.
They've always been known for not being a 'low volume' speaker. They need some power to open up.
And I stand by my comments on microdynamics. Maybe the bigger models don't have that problem but things like the MG12, etc.... yeah. You notice it a lot of you're switching from say, a good British monitor style speaker.

One of the reasons I favor electrostats is because of their low level resolution. I get that. That is why I ruled out 20.1s at the time.
On the other hand, I was very impressed when I heard 3.7s at Sea Cliff a number of years ago. I think the current crop does much better than previous models. Note too, the listening habits of the OP.
Well, I dont know about that. I had MGIII's awhile back. Although the Maggies did a lot of things well, I was never pulled in to the music like my horn/BR system I had previously. I sold them, and use sealed box speakers now. I think he may still want to try them, though, but he will need a sub if he wants deep bass.
