Which full-size Maggies are you considering ?

In the photos I've seen so far, your room looked pretty small.

I used to own Maggie 1.6 speakers about 15 years ago, and I had problems with excessive mid-bass in rooms too small for them. OTOH, I couldn't afford enough high-quality power to make them sound good in much larger rooms.

Good sounding power has gotten a little cheaper since then, thanks to advances in Class D designs. But the excessive mid bass problems might still be there (for me and my smallish room) today, if I went with anything bigger than the Mini-Maggies (or possibly, the .7 model)...

If your room is as small as it looks in the photos I've seen, I'd think about trying out the "medium-sized" .7 model. The bigger models might cause you some problems.

For subwoofers, I'd think about using open-baffle...
