Magnepan MG 2s'..Old,OK, but worth re-furb?

I have a friend whose late husband who owned a pair of Maggie MG-s, and They caught my eye (big suprise). They weren't hooked up but my friend said they sounded great. I made an offer of $300.00.... What are the chances they are in good condition, and if they are, do they in fact sound "good"? Any advice/history of this speaker from current or former owners/ knowledgable audiophiles would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a bunch...Mike in Charlotte.

I had the MG-IIc and liked the sound. They do not sound like conventional cone type speakers, so your first impression may or may not impress you. The MG-2C is a 2-way panel, Oak side rails, and stand about 6 feet tall by 2.5 feet wide and are 2 inches wide at the rails. When I sold them they were driven with an old 1969 Sansui 350 20WPC receiver. The buyer was impressed as I turned the volume up way past loud listening levels easily with that 20 Watt solid state. If they are clean and sound Ok, $300.00 is maybe more than I would pay. If they need an O'haul forget them completely. But if you have never listened at some Maggies, you should. The sound may be what you like forever.
