I find that smaller Maggies are no more resolving at lower levels than large ones, however, the modern ones, beginning with the SMGc are more resolving at low levels than older ones.

I think you could be very happy with a set of MMG's or MG12's with some upgrades to them. Fuse bypass, crossover upgrade and hardwood frames or mye stands will also each yield incremental improvements in resolution.

I find that I listen to my Maggies at an average 76-78db level with peaks in the low 90db range. Late at night, a bit lower.
