I had 2 sets of maggies , earlier ones tho , dog-pee , sunlight and bad glue scuppered the first set (tried a self fix , but to send em 6000 miles for a factory refurb wasnt worth it and I managed to bugger up the mylar anyway) , 2nd pair (MGIII's afairememeber) were way to big for my new home (a small rented cottage at the time), so sold em (and was sorry)
Those models needed serious amps to power em to decent levels without em flapping etc , and bass was a bit weak with both.
Placement can be problematic and they are VERY ugly speakers and rather obtrusive (not that my current speakers are any better:)I have my strongest and fondest Audio memories with a set of maggies , some monster TEAC monoblocks (when TEAC made good equipment) a TEAC pre and either a Linn or Ariston TT - perhaps I wasnt that discerning then , but they sure sounded like the bee knees.
I Tried a set of SMGs a few years back , but couldnt get em right in my room.
I would definately try a set before buying em
