This is correct. The Maggie bass arguments can go on forever and ultimately its silly; if you like what cones do then buy a cone speaker and enjoy it. But if you want truly reproduced accurate acoustic bass then a Maggie is very hard to beat.

Interesting you should bring this up. I agree with you, but that I get this effect more with a Maggie then with cone speakers. I've spent a lot of time playing in orchestras and am very familiar with it. Cones seem to push it at you more, the effect is like they are pushing through your skin. Maggies immerse you in the sound field more, as happens in live music (acoustic that is).

Like you said, if you want the pushy cone thing then just get a sub. But (IMHO) if you want true acoustic repro then just get the Maggie. Or planar really, 'stats of course do this also.
