IMHO,
Pros:Superb transparency, music emanating from the almost the entire length of the enclosure
Cons:
- One-note bass in the smaller Maggies. Great bass is only achieved when they are really wide ... i.e. much more expensive models
- Extremely narrow sweet spot. Move your head just a bit up/down, left/right, and the sound changes dramatically
- difficult to drive, need lots of power. Of course, they'll work with 50 watts, but the speakers' potential is wasted
