Especially in the bottom end. My current speakers are rated down to 40 Hz on paper, but the in room response with room grain, allows them to produce useful bass well below 30 Hz. And not much I've heard can match them for bass punch and slam. I've also heard the Maggie 3.7's, and although I love the way they sound, I could not live with them without a sub woofer. My guess is they drop off sharply after 40 Hz, and the bass they do have, although very tuneful and tight, lacks weight and impact.
