I have a second pair of Maggies now. I still have me 3.3's but someone just gave me a pair of Tympani's! I wouldn't give up either for any other speakers out there. I have a long narrow room but I've got it covered with bankets on one end and the Maggies are 5 feet from the back wall. I have them turned around because they are far more open from the back than from the front. Also they have a network (zobel) of 120uF and 10 ohms on each. A curtain comes down from the ceiling and goes down the inside edge of the speakers and to the back wall. This makes an alcove for the bigscreen. It also keeps the Maggies backwave from mixing. My maggies are so good that when I got them I had to replace everything else in the system, front end to amps! I had to bring the rest of the system up to the level of the Maggies! The new (old) Tympani speakers I have now also work well in my room. I placed them in front of the 3.3's for now. They needed work when I got them but were still fuctional. I've replaced the connections on them and striped off their coverings. Those were way to thick. I also turned the woofer panels around to face forward. Then I had to add a bass crossover, it was missing. They look awful naked like this but sound wonderful! I'll be painting them back this week end and covering them again but in a very thing mat this time. With everything the Maggies do why would you go back to cones? When I die some will have the pry me away from my Maggies!bobwire
