Greg -I'd also like to get your experience on the 1.6 vs. the M12. What differences did you hear and how did you hear them?
I currently own the SMGc model (one that is not available in the US, but is still available to the overseas market). I'm not sure how much I trust Wendell Diller, their sales guy. When I was considering buying the speakers, he didn't think that there was much difference between the MMG and the SMGc (they, of course, sell the MMG direct), but thought that there was a considerable difference between the SMGc and the .6 (the precursor to the M12). Recently, I asked him about the SMGc, the M12 and the 1.6. His response was that the SMGc is very close to the M12, but that the big step up would be the 1.6. I'm trying to figure out where he is really coming from here.
Anyway, the store I bought my Maggies has a 3 year full trade-up policy towards a similar product costing at least twice as much. The SMGc speakers cost $695. With the 1.6 speakers going for $1475, that would be right in there. The M12s, going for only $950, would not allow me full trade-in value like the 1.6s. However, there is the wife-to-be acceptance factor.
I plan to go and listen for myself, but I thought I'd get your further opinions on what you heard.
