Yes, tweeters-inside snaps those panels right into focus, congratulations on a very nice upgrade! The diaphragms take quite a bit of listening time to loosen-up, glad to hear you are enjoying them right out of the box

Sperandeo,

That is great you have your own listening room and it looks really sweet. I have my 1.7's in my living room. I broke the news to my wife this weekend that I am trading up to the 3.7's. I told her about the beautiful cherry wood model that I am getting. Her first comment was are they bigger than the 1.7's. Weeeeellllll maybe a little bigger..... Like the others have said, once you get some hours on the 1.7's the brightness in the upper register will tone down and the bass will start going deeper. It WILL get even better.

~Mike

Congrats on the Maggie 1.7's. They look great Now for a question.

Do they require an electrical source to activate them, or is it just a matter of connecting the speaker cables and listen away.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I had a pair of Martin Logans that required an electrical source to activate the panels.

No such thing sas a dumb question, Bob. Maggies wdo not require AC or electrical source - just connections to the amp(s). Completely different technology.

This is a beautiful system and I really like your room! Are those acoustic treatments behind your new 1.7's?
