A new Magnepan thread made me realize I never followed up on my audition. I listened to the Maggies a little more over that next week, but didn't purchase them, as I preferred my M80s for the HT, and I didn't have any other area of the house needing gigantic speakers.
My turn off from the Maggies were bass and power requirements and a distant third, aesthetics (not a fan of all black stuff).
Would have to look for some possibly uglier options like the somewhat white fabric and light wood trim Maggies which didn't really work for us either.
