Planar speaker question


I am new to planar speaker, I have few NEWBIE questions.
1. How come Magnepan price is so cheap compare with normal speaker?
2. Do they need special amp to power up? I saw Magnepan speaker have special input.
3. For 1.5k, what is the best choice?

My first audiophile system in 1991 was (as remarked by Chazzbo) Maggie 3.3s with Bryston 4NRB. A very good combination. I think the 3.6s could be your once & future speakers in the $5K new or used category, provided you can bring them out from the walls. You could grow into better SS or tube amps, but not many out there for the short money of the Bryston(and you do need at least 150wpc to drive these planars without strain).
