    My room is not large at all so maybe they might be ok
    Yes, I have heard the 0.7s. They are what you would expect really, a very slightly scaled down version of the 1.7s. I thought they were much better than my first pair of Maggies ( the MG12) which were about the same size. I would still been listening to my MG12s if I had not been pressured to sell them to a work colleague when I left Malawi.

    One big advantage of the pair listed: no Colin required!

    For anyone going down the open baffle route I will just expand on my reservation.

    The problem most people try to overcome is lack of seismic bass. They do this generally in one of two ways

    1. Building a box around the bass driver. But now you have an open baffle with subwoofer in a box. Not good

    2. They apply some sophisticated version of a graphic equaliser to the bass driver. Not good for SQ.

    That's a bit of a hypnotic stare, isn't it?
