The Maggies are VERY dependant on placement and don't have very good bass. The MMGs are the budget Maggies, but still do a great job for 2 channel music if you also use a sub. They don't throw as wide a soundstage as the M60s either, so they weren't as good for home theater. I actually preferred my Apogee's over the Maggies, but I think the Axiom speakers are closer to the Apogee's detail without the limitations of a ribbon speaker.
