What Do You Think?

I was browsing the electronics section on Craigslist and came across a pair of Magnepan MMGs for $450. The ad said there were multiple upgrades made by a guy in Chicago which seem to involve the crossovers. I looked on-line at prices and that seems to be about what they sell for, but without upgrades.

I don’t really have the room for these speakers and I know they need to be out from walls about 3 feet to sound their best. But if everything I’ve heard about magneplaners are true, and for this price, maybe I should get them and figure out how to use them later? What do you think?

Thank you for the advice.  I agree and will pass on them.  The seller sounds sincere and knowledgeable, but don’t they all?  You might have saved me the aggravation.  Stay safe and take care.

So . . . Magnepan 3.7  >  1.7  >  LRS  >  MMG?

Probably the first thing I should do is go to a high end audio store and listen to electrostatics to see if I like the sound, right?
