Having a tinker with these Yankee panels and I am shocked at how good they are ( not wife friendly though ) .
A matched pair too .

Maggies are pretty nice. The bass is different to what most people are used to.

Great speakers. All the rage in the 1980s with the non flat earth society.
I remember Jimmy Hughes et al going nuts for them with Krell KSA50/100.
I've had Maggies for decades as a result...and have SMGa,b &c in the loft, SMG 12s being the sofa I am typing this from ( don't tell the wife) and listening to 1.7s.

Enjoy.

Yeah. Bass is good and there's no boom or colouration unless your room is tricky.

Get them off those stands and raise them about 4-6inches, makes quite a difference.
I am still using the original Midas stands made for the SMGa. Makes a huge difference. There are those who take the stands to extremes.

Very easy to mod the x-over and that makes a huge difference, improving the bass.

You can have lots of fun with these.

Unfortunately I don’t have the space for these Gerry , plus I have a very energetic 3 year old granddaughter so I’ll be selling them on .

They’re better than I thought they could be Grant , initially there was no sound from the tweeters so I stuck a 3amp fuse in to try them and hey presto ( correct 1.5 a fuses ordered) I need to stretch the cloth back over the bottom, there is on bit missing from one foot which I think is for placing them more upright.

Ohh I've imagined lol it's nice you have such a place just for yourself (we won't tell the wife)

I like Maggies as well - but then I like most dipole speakers.

Yours look very nice. :)
