These speakers deliver a large soundstage. That's probably the first thing you will notice. Then the midrange will grab you. Just play some female vocals, preferably jazz, and you'll know what i mean. The sound is effortless.

I own the .....5QRs .. fantastic speakers...as a professional musician I know what it sounds

Best speakers for the money, I paid 300 used. un bleiveable sound quailty

These started life as 0.5QRs and were modded by the 1st owner to 0.6QR specs. After a couple months use I sent them to Magnepan for a complete factory re-build (delaminated wires) for about another $300. So for about the price of the MMGs, I have the...

Wrote an earlier review on the 0.5QR and gave it a 4 out of 5 simply because I believe that there are better speakers out there, notably the larger Maggies, which go lower in the bass.

I bought these wonders about 1 year ago. I know I paid too much.
