RE: Sorry to upset the apple cart..

While the JBLs were better at the low and highs, were more efficient, sound more natural and seemed to soundstage better. In the end i sold the maggies.

The early JBL monitors work fine nearfield, but I find their image most disconcerting at distance. Unlike modern JBL monitors like the LSR6332, they cross the 5" midrange about an octave too high. So, the directivity runs from wide at the bottom to noticeably clamped down at the top end of the midrange (in a very sensitive region) only to bloom again with a wide dispersion tweeter.

I recently listened to a pair of similar L110s at a friend's house. They were neutral with a nice top end, but that "fun house mirror" soundstage just didn't work for me.
