Point #4 is why in the past (the 1980's) I disliked Maggies.
I had a chance to audition them in my home for a couple weeks back in the 80's...
It bothered me that there was a 6 foot high guitar in my room.
Good to see they are improving on this.

"4) They image better than any Maggie I’ve ever heard. I assume this may be a side-benefit of the uniformity of drive, dispersion, and power-handling of the all-quasi-ribbon complement of drivers (and it may have something to do with the addition of the separate super tweeter, too), but the “mouth-as-big-as-a-bass drum” effect of many previous Maggies is…gone. While they still have lifelike size of image (at lifelike volumes), the focus of the images is VASTLY improved—almost to the level of something like the point-source Magico M5, which is a paragon of imaging."
