The little Maggies are doing just fine. No problems at all. In the right setting, they make great music. They are not a speaker that multiple people can get a concert experience through, but they definitely are a fun listen.

I didn't hear anything from you about them so I thought maybe they sucked or you let the smoke out of them.

What Axioms sound better than the LRS?

Mojo - that's a tough question. Let's revisit this sometime in the near future.

I've heard many speakers mostly around the same price range as M80s and below. The majority of my listening was in other people's homes. The vast majority of those were set up real bad in the room. I can say many sounded better at "normal" listening levels than my old Axiom set-up. Many sounded worse than my old set-up at louder levels either because of the receiver or amp or speakers - couldn't tell which. All the ones that were set up well in the room soundstaged/imaged better than my old setup. This is where I got the idea I could do better.
Well since I got my v4 it's been an absolute revelation. All the speakers I heard can't touch any of the v4. Of course I have them set up real good at my place. The fidelity, soundstage /imaging are outstanding. Of course now with the actives coming, I'm hoping it's a whole different ball game.

Craig, what cut do dealers get at audio shops? I've been told typical mark-up is two times their cost.

BTW, I've heard Martin Logans and didn't like them. I hope Maggies don't sound like that.

Mojo - Take a pair of speakers that retails for $1000. Typically, the dealer cost is $500-$600.
With Maggies - it's more like $700. With "X" brands, it could be $200.

Thanks. Do you think it's about the same for electronics?
Honestly I have no idea how an Onk or a Denon sells for as little as it does. I suppose it's all about volume.
