Really impressed with the MMG's...

Re: getting started and playing with entry level components, I had (well, they are in a box in the basement right now) SMG-A's. Mid-range had a bit of that Maggie slam, but they were decent.

I'm really having a ton of fun with these, investigating different amplifiers, etc to see how much more sound can be massaged out of them without spending a ton of money.

They do so much right, this would definitely be a great place to start the high end journey if I were beginning again. It brings back a lot of great memories, as I started out with Magnepan MG-1's back in 1978.
