No speaker is going to soundstage just like a maggie, they all do it differently. But some are actually better than maggies, depending on what you value most.

if you can give them enough room to breathe. Had a pair of original Acoustic Energy AE-1s. Talk about imaging/soundstaging! Wow.

And agree they can throw a huge soundstage. (Merlin TSM MM and Rogers LS 2). I have also owned, or had in my room Vandersteen 2 ce sigs, Vandersteen 3a's, Audio Physic Virgo III's, Triangle Antal's, and nothing, except maybe the Triangles came close, (but they had other issues) could keep the scale of the soundstage when instruments were panned to the extreme left or right.
I do enjoy some the sharper imaging that conventional speakers convey, but when it goes to outside edges they just seem to drop for me.Thanks to all who replied.
