Used MMG's

I agree with the previous posters that used prices for speakers usually run closer to 50% off retail price. However, I have noticed that MMGs seem to command a bit more than that and this fact bodes well for the value offered by the MMG.

Given the high resale price, I think I would buy new, get the color of my choice and have the benefit of the return policy. That is unless the $100-$150 extra is a breaking point for you.

The lack of potential hassle with purchasing new, plus the return policy would clinch the idea of purchasing new MMGs if it were me.

Enjoy,

I think you can get 100% purchase price credit for 1 year on 'upgrade' if you buy new MMGs.....
Is this true or am I just making this up???

In any event, they are such a good deal new, I'd have to agree with everybody, above.

A fairly unusual case of robust and uniform consensus on the Gon. New it is! ;)

Thanks everyone. Always appreciate the good advice.
One last thing.....I can only place them 2' from the back wall. Will they sing from that close?
Thanks again.

IME, you're right at the margin. I'd say that you need three feet and change to feel comfortable predicting success without much reservation. But that doesn't mean you're doomed here - there are just too many room specific variables at play to make a confident prediction. If you're buying new, just give it a shot and see what you think. You can always send 'em back if it's not working to you're satisfaction.

One more thought: The MMGs are pretty happy close to the side walls. You might think about placing them along the adjacent wall if your decor allows and it would allow you to provide more room behind the speakers.
