Two thoughts. First, an increase in output in the 60-100hz range will usually be percieved as an increase in overall bass response, even at lower frequencies. Many, if not most, cone speakers have a bit of boost in this area for this reason. Perhaps Maggies sound more natural, but yet "lightweight" because they do not have this characteristic? Second, low bass notes coupled with a lot of distortion frequently sound as if they have more "weight" than the same notes with low distortion. Again, this high distortion is a characteristic of many cone speakers trying to produce bass that they they shouldn't. Perhaps, up to their spl limit, Maggies simply distort less as well?
