As a previous Maggie 1.6 owner I will chime in here to say that none of the maggies are super strong in the bass department. Unless you own the 20.1 then they do everything well. IMHO all maggies could benefit from a sub. It is not necessary but it never is unless you have satellites. The trouble I had was finding a sub that was fast enough to stay in sync with the maggies quickness. I never did try a SVS back then, I ended up with a REL. In closing I will say that I miss my maggies very much and will buy a pair again some day for a 2ch set-up when I have the proper room for them.
