Yeah, in the last months or two, I've been slowly looking into upgrading my beloved Hales System Two's, and listening to almost every "high-end" brand that I can put my hands (ears) on. So far, I found that I like the Maggie 3.6/Rs (and 20.1/Rs) best. Their realistic soundstage and naturally detailed presentation is very special to me. The problem is, I am not sure at all if I can place them optimally in our living room.
Mike, you are certainly guilty of introducing me to the Maggies and removing my prejudice against the planner dipoles!
