But even I know (as a former Maggie owner) that all, or at least most, big dipoles can be difficult to set up properly.If you want to hear their best performance, you might not be able to simply plop your Maggies down in the same spot in the room where your old monopole speakers thrived and expect good sound. It might take only minutes to find setup success with a pair of Maggies...
BUT ( < notice the big "BUT" ), it might also take hours (or even days) before one finds the exact spot in the room where Maggies sound their best. One needs to be willing to invest the time needed, if need be...
But I suspect that Amir never bothered with the (sometimes) painstaking process of Maggie setup before he pronounced his bitter judgement against them. If he would not or could not be bothered, then he probably deserves to remain ignorant.
