RE: The review was absurd

I could have been a Maggie owner but for footprint. My first exposure to actually listening to them was an extended session at Lyric hi-fi in NYC with a set of 1.6's and I found them utterly rapturous. I subsequently auditioned a set of MMGs in home back in Florida. While a sub would have been desirable and better mounts, I loved the sound.

I hemmed and hawed between 1.6 and MG12 but I just couldn't handle the visual footprint in my living room. The MMGs had established that the room could support it (the wall behind them encompassed 8 linear feet of sliding glass)but the bigger panels would really block the view. Surprisingly my wife was okay with either but I was the one who couldn't commit.

The 13" width of the ET made them ideal. Bought unheard strictly on reading was a bit of a leap of faith but I have never been sorry. $1350 at the time for the 8A with the Sound Anchor stands was an obscene bargain and the additional $400 for the 8B tweeters was well worth it.

I still feel in the right room a set of MMGs with a small fast sub could have been all the speaker I needed.
