2-way full range, planar magnetic speaker system freq: 50hz - 18khz +/-3db recommended power: 40 -150 watts @8ohms sensitivity,1watt/1meter: 90db impedance: 4ohms dimensions: 19"Wx48"H wgt: 60lbs the smg's (and all other maggies) DO image and quite well. the sweet spot is small though. but the sound is large. the right electronics are required and a break-in time of at least a month (ie play em at a low level 24 hours a day for a month.) some loud tunes will help to stretch the bass panels which take a bit longer to settle. the maggies need space around them. at least 3 ft on all sides. in placing them don't be afraid to try a wide separation with flat stance toward your listening position as opposed to toed in. i also recommend re-wiring with some cardas cable after they have boken in. the difference in clarity doubles their value. they don't play too loud with source material containing lots of bass. if you do not play too loud as a matter of course you might consider bypassing the fuse. i have mg2c's which i have modified. i removed all the plated speaker connectors and rewired with cardas cable and removed the bi-amping capability. i take the cable out and connct to my custom speaker cable with a pressure connection. the improvement in soundstage, imaging and instrumental timbre is astounding. i also removed my fuse. i play a fairly loud volumes especially for rock and have not had any problems with my tweeters. i use a large belles 450 amp. i find that maggies need lots of current and a clean signal coming in. maggies take quite awhile to lace properly but the effort is well rewarded in listening pleasure.
