hi Bill,
As long as the Maximiser is directly before the speaker then you get the full benefit.
My set up in reverse order is Speakers - Maximiser - Mixer/EQ/Effect unit.
However the EQ need is much less and is nearly set to neutral as the two controls on the Maximiser seem to do the work.
I have found that since using Maximiser less is more and artificial additions are not really needed or much less depending on what final outcome you require.
BBE have bought out a new range but the previous model is still available at a big discount - I have the 482 which is a reduction in price of 45% over the new 482i - there is little difference between them.
