Compare Maggie 1.6QR to IIIA


I have a chance to buy Maggie IIIA speakers, but am also considering the 1.6QR. Any comments on the pros and cons of this choice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for reply. This is what the seller is saying about them. "Magnepan model 3a speakers in beautiful condition. Just refurbed this past summer. Comes complete with original shipping boxes & manual (unpictured). Includes the necessary Magnepan crossovers. The speakers are in MINT condition. During the refurb process the elements were recoated with miloxane (direct from Magnepan) to insure the elements remain very pliable and "fresh". The tweeters were replaced 3 years ago even though they sounded fine." What do you think?
Thanks for the suggestions and comments. I have heard the IIIAs but not the 1.6QRs. What do you mean when you say that the the technology of the 1.6 tweeter matches that of the woofer? Are you referring to the difference in age of the new ribbon in the refurbished IIIAs? Thanks
