I purchased, and have been TRULY enjoying, Maggie 12s combined with a Vandersteen 2Wq sub (3 8-inch drivers -- VERY fast and deep) powered authoritatively by a Bryston 3B-ST. I opted out of the 1.6s due to one reason: the 12s give you EVERYTHING the 1.6s do except that little extra bass (which was not an issue for me since I am also using a sub). My recommendation: 1.6s if you're not getting a sub, 12s if you are. Another recommendation...get a sub. I listen to primarily classical and jazz and, organ music aside, a good sub greatly enhances the sounds of acoustic basses, timpani, tuba, cellos...

My 12s are "grey" -- charcoal grey. I use Cardas Quadlink cables/ICs.
