Listen to some well recorded acoustic, piano and vocal music and you will be blown away by just how good they can sound.
I always thought the Maggies would be very sharp. The only experience I have had with ribbons is in Infinity models and I always thought they were too harsh. These Maggies are smooth. I had been listening to a Dianna Krall DVD-A and was loving her mellow sexy voice on the Maggies. I switched back to the Preludes yesterday and my first thought was they were too bright! I let my ear adjust and found they were more detailed and had more stage placement just as I had heard before. What I lost was the warmness in her voice. She just didn't sound as sexy. The more I compare, the more I like the Maggies. When listening to rock, the Preludes win! I just need two systems now! ! ! !

I think JoeE sent this already and I followed it placing the tweeters on the outside for better seperation. I have also built a sidewall where it was open before which helped a great deal. The manual is actually for the 1C with a note on the last page stating the differences in the 1D. The guy I bought them from didn't have the manual when I picked the speakers up but promised to mail it. I'm curious to see if it's different.
