Why is the turnover on maggies 1.6QR so much?


It seems like every time I check on the planar adds that are at least a dozen 1.6's being sold and bought. I have never heard the 1.6's but they are no.1 on my wish list.
Thanks,

A friend of mine owns a store that sells Maggies...
1) Maggies tend to be purchased by "Audiophiles", most of them don't keep anything too long, there is always the allure of something new and different.
2) Many people buy 'em and like them and decide to upgrade to their larger models.
3) Some people just can't get them to work well in their room or with their ancilliary equipment.
4) They can be a bone of contention where the owner has to share a listening room with other family functions.
5) Actually, it isn't as much turnover as it seems! They were a BIG seller, most dealers couldn't keep 'em in stock, for their price and performance they were a no-brainer for many people, especially after some of the hot reviews. So there are a LOT of them out there!
