I think what I mean is (bare with me): At this point in my life, with the life-style I have choosen, with that path (s) that has taken me, I would be uncomfortable with the SUPERLATIVE, with WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and anyway as far as speakers are concerned, there is no comparison possible. I've had a love affair with Maggies since my first pair of MG11's backin '79! I also know that with some fairly simple (and expensive!) modifications, they jump two classes. They were always held back by a the Frame and x'over. Why this has never been addressed by the company is totally beyond my understanding. I suspect the SP's are indeed something special, maybe something very SPECIAL. Am I a bit jaded and cynical? yes I admit to it. In 35 years of audio nervosa ( I was middle-aged before my time!) I have seen so many products proclaimed the ultimate statement...and
then they are not, and so it goes on.
