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 have owned MGIIs and loved them. I had them rebuilt coz one driver was blown. They came back from the factory in as new condition.
If i remember correctry, the cost was $300 including shipping back to me. They also replaced cloth, so Maggies looked completely new.
If they did not have a poblem, I am not sure I would have done it. But, when I saw them, I had a good feeling of having a brand new pair. So, it's really up to you.
Beware, they are very power hungry. I would use at least 100W of good tube power or 200W ss. Make sure amp is stable at 4ohm impedance.If you need more help. let me know.
