Thanks for recommending Planars, and I agree that they work well for classical. The real surprise that people get when they hear them is that they are great for ALL types of music, except for possibly RAP, and heavy bassed dance. Planars throw a HUGE soundstage, and need space to work correctly. If you have a limited space, or have problems with WAF, then I would not recommend them.

The problems that Newbster has with his maggies sould more like the fact that he has the MMG model. The MMG's while great speakers, do not use the true Ribbon tweeter. The Quasi-Ribbon they use is a superior tweeter to all but the most exotic tweeters used in box speakers, but it is not in the same class as the true Ribbon tweeter, which is quite possibly be the best high frequancy driver ever made. My advise is to get a slightly used set of 3.3r's or even a IIIa. These can be had pretty cheaply, and will knock your socks off whether your a "planar" guy or not.
