Maggies can be placed any of FOUR different ways. Than adjusted till you go nuts for azimuth, spacing, distance to wall and so forth.

1. Mylar TO you, tweeters in
2. Mylar TO you, tweeters OUT
3. Pole Piece to you, tweeters out
4 Poli Piece to you, tweeters IN.

Original Maggies were SHIPPED with the intent that pole pieces face the listener. My MG-1s were shipped marked as LEFT and RIGHT and sounded best when placed that way with ONE exception.
The above setups will effect image, extension and instrument placement in the sound field. With a good recording, I have sound extending well beyond the physical limits of the speakers.

Sometime later, they decided you should be listening to the Mylar side. I experimented with all four logical setups with my 1.6s and ended up listening to the mylar side with tweeters IN.

You may want to go thru a similar evolution and TAKE GOOD NOTES.

One model that I know of has a pole piece on BOTH sides and that is the 20 series. I don't know about the original 20, but the Point 1 and Point 7 are 'push pull' panels.

Too much is never enough
