The store owner made him a deal ... he couldn't refuse! :-))
They were supposed to be A$600, so ~USD470. But one channel wasn't working - so the guy said my mate could have them for A$200 - about USD160! That would have to be the cheapest Maggies sold anywhere! :-))
I know the store owner and so I believed him when he said they were working at the previous owner's place, 6 months ago ... so I'm sure once we strip off the sack-cloth and study the wires and the connectors, I can fairly rapidly get the damaged channel working.
We did listen to one channel and that sounded great; I also felt (as best I could, under the thick cloth) to see whether there were any loose wires ... and I couldn't find any.
So we will just have to see, when my mate has organised to get them home.
Re. "diffuse imaging" of the T-1s ... I can understand this, given the normal zig-zag panel placement. But by arranging the panels in an arc, as Satie suggested, in separate hardwood frames and driven 2-way active, I'm thinking they should sound quite good.

Andy
