I don't seem to have music with sip, zip, ship, chip, or Jeep in it. But I will listen out and report back.

Are they happy near side walls? Space behind is no problem for me, but space around is a problem. Anyway, welcome Magnafan!

One huge advantage for you Simon is they are easier to move than the 57's while being kinda similar in size but not as wide.

Everything I've read on that Chinese forum (they're big Maggie fans) suggests that my amps aren't up to the task. Perfect for 57s and 63s, but not for Maggies. I won't share the analogy presented there, but along the lines of "not enough lead in the pencil"

I would have thought that. Big watts required and preferably transistors. Of course I'm open to correction on that.
