yes, spot on to the note above. maggies do require good enough current drive and capable wattage to make them sound what they're supposed to sound like. Also as RGA put it, the room does have a huge impact on all types of panel speakers because the fact that they are dipoles.

I have had all my previous maggies well away from the wall behind them, approx 4 to 5ft, and my Quads 2905 sit about 5&half ft away. This allows the soundstage to expand and place everything in sync. Also quality power amps are required as I said I ultimately had these driven with 350 watt monoblocks from Manley Labs gear. Those were the bigger maggies as well 3.5 &3.6 series.
The 35 watt tube amp I drove my older pair of MGIIIA was only good for near field listening as back then the system was located in a very small area, hence 35 watts was good enough - but not much bass though!

Sorry, I forgot to mention this earlier and being a maggie owner for over 2 decades. I thought you would have alreasy known about room placement, hence I didn't address this before. But believe me room placement is one of the major critical factors with maggies, they can make the speakers sound wonderful or basically crap! if not given adequate room around the panels.
