     While Maggies are probably among the top 10 in terms of
     "difficulty in placement," they do not need to be moved all the
     time once the best spot is found.  I have found that recordings
     made with spaced microphones rarely have stable images:  period!
     My Maggies give rock-solid images to M/S recordings very, very
     consistently.  The fact that other speakers are less accurate
     should not be touted as a virtue for them.  Therefore, I would
     tend to blame the recording for the wondering images you describe
     (and which every owner has experienced).  

     Do women really love planars?  They seem to like them OK in other
     people's homes, but do they really like them in their own living
     room?  (Probably not, but it beats an ugly box if they are forced
     to choose!)
