The back plate of the maggies is extremely unique, you use a single stereo amp and jumpers or take them out and wire it in a weird way so that the tweeter has it's own amp and the two bass/mid panels have an amp. That gave them 600 watts at 4 ohms and really made them open up and sound awesome. As you can imagine, 6 foot tall panels make an insanely huge soundstage.
