panel speaker purchase

i am about to replace my mg 1.6s, with another panel speaker.

i am aware of martin logan, sound lab, magnepan, apogee(australia), analysis audio, quad, soundlab, the electrostatic from holland, the planar from canada designed by mike z and alternate audio (hybrid).

can anyone add to my list . i may consider the mg 3.6, but i would like other choices.
thanks.

Have you considered the "ribbons" like Newform Research, VMPS, Wisdom, Genesis and Transmission Audio? Maybe an old pair of Carver Amazings. Some are dipolar.

What price range?...some of those you have on your list (Analysis, Apogee, Soundlab) are well over $10,000 new. Used Apogees can be rebuilt as new...$1,500 for a used pair...around $3,500 for the rebuild ($5,000 total).

Eminent Technology comes to mind as a possible Maggie alternative, using push-pull rather than single-ended topology as I recall.

I think that Beveridge and Janszen are back in production, under the direction of Harold's son and Arthur's son, respectively.

Gilmore Audio makes a couple of ribbon/dipole woofer hybrids that are can play very loud.

In my opinion, the Maggie 3.6 is real hard to beat in its price range.
