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,

Jade,all of the above is true and be thankfull you can buy
them at a 33% discount used.Mine are modded and in another
room allowing the mandatory 3' room behind and walls.BUT
the sound !! For $1k used, Nothing comes close ! Especially
for Jazz,singers (Krall will be there in front of you) etc.
Go for the light look (NOT black) an old Adcom 200wpc amp.,
Morrison preamp and spend the rest on a good CD source/
FM tuner (Fanfare) and you have 90% of a $100k sound syst.
Allright $50k.The secret is that 30-36 inches all around for
the sound delay to fill in the incredible Lifelike, Huge soundstage.Oh yes and it allows you to take a Long break from this HiFi addiction of ours. Except mabe cables,the only other tweak is a power conditioner (RGPC works) Now
if only I can find the room next to my new Sony XBR 36"...
