Actually, I SOLD my RSL3600s for 200$ and used that to fund the purchase of some MG-1s.
I've never looked back from that purchase and indeed, sent 'em off to White Bear Lake maybe 20+ years later, to get 'em rebuilt. The only question from Magnepan? What color did I want the Grill Cloth.

i almost bought MG1s but ended up with rogers LS3/5As instead. hard choice. i do not regret the rogers purchase but wish i could have afforded both.

now i have MMGs (and spendor s3/5s) and don't want to part with them.

  I was never 'in the loop' and wouldn't have known rogers LS3/5 from Rogers and Hammerstein. or Rogers Sound Labs, for that matter.
  
  But when I heard the MG-1 I KNEW. it was so right as to be the ONLY speaker I'd own for the next 20+ years.
  
  People I bought them from were very advanced DIY audio guys. They were even building their own TurnTable last I heard. While I was auditioning the Maggies, they BLEW UP their amp trying to drive some wacky load. An ultrasonic-ish chirp was the amps last gasp. I suspect ALL output devices went open.
