"Also note that the forte of Maggies is strings and female vocals as opposed to in-your-face rock 'n' roll (or blues). Different styles... "
You've got that right -- female vocals is where Maggies take the cake! I've never heard female vocals as freakishly real as they get reproduced through a pair of Maggies. Something about that technology just kills when it comes to the eerily realistic presence of female singers. I have countless examples with which to illustrate this. Janis Joplin? My god, she is literally and brutally killing me each time I play her music through Maggies! I do that very rarely, because I barely manage to survive her vocal onslaught.
Maria Bethania? Don't get me started...
But back to your point -- my Maggies deliver so much grunt, so much body and substance, even on hard core electronica or while playing the incredibly visceral Bole 2 Harlem album (http://www.amazon.com/Bole-2-Harlem-Vol-1/dp/B000G19OHI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1287693276&sr=8-1). It just rocks the house all the way down to its foundation. So no, I'm not buying the theory that Maggies are overly feminine.
