Maybe stupid question....

But you might think about a couple of potential constraints--do you really have room for both well-positioned Maggies and well-positioned JBLs in the same room? Also, if you have any sort of psychic or actual budget, wouldn't you get better sound spending all you money on a single pair rather than half your money on each of two?

Good luck!

No Jim’s concern is over having another pair of speakers in the room - period.

Of course, I have also heard Ivan’s room(s)full of speakers and never left unsatisfied.

Like: 2 pairs of speakers, yes! But it's even better to have two systems!

Like guitars, cars, and bicycles- the formula is N+1! I picked up a pair of used CLSII and swap them with my 11A's.
I would add why stop there? Add an amp! I recently got my MC1502 to replace my ailing
VTL MB 250's. A friend has tinkered with them and they are behaving for now.
Who needs a triode switch?? I just pop these in.
Go for it!
