[QUOTE="Shonver, post: 88379, member: 34"] Maggies have a very romantic sound. Easy to fall in love with them. But The NS-1000's are not trying to do that to you. You will hear exactly what is upstream. In terms of how these speakers keep their age, there are a few things to know: the woofers can fail due to the magnet shifting (possibly because of getting bumped/dropped when they are moved - they are big and heavy for "bookshelf" speakers - or maybe failing adhesive). Also, tweeters are known to blow; the edge-wound voice coils are difficult to replace: I have not heard of successful repairs to them. Problem is, replacement tweets are virtually unobtainium, and they are quite expensive on the second-hand market. Another thing: I would love a set of midrange drivers from this speaker... that is where the magic lies. [/QUOTE]
