Maggie 1.6 value ?

184.103.174.146

Thinking about upgrading my 1.6's that have Magna Riser Stands. I'm having trouble finding any for sale that may indicate what mine are worth. Any suggestions or educated guesses? Thanks in advance.

I have perfect shape and original 1.6s, too......and am resigned to the fact that they are worth ONLY what someone is willing to pay......
On a pretty much take-it-or-leave-it basis.....

These are VERY diy friendly panels and can be bettered with anything from a DIY reframe or a trip to Peter Gun (Magnestand) or any of a dozen vibration / damping / stand options. And that's not even getting into the crossover area....Skiing Ninja made a good one and for the REALLY adventurous? Take a shot at MiniDSP and build your own FIR filter...I've even got drawings / dimensions of a DIY inductor for the low-pass end which is the same DCR as the stock iron core but also features a perfect set of dimensions with the same number of layers as turns per layer.....of IIRC, 14ga.....

  One of the greatest speakers ever made IMO.
  
  It's amazing to see even after 20+ years they're still commanding 60-90% of their original value.
  
  Personally I wouldn't spend over $900.

    For the sake of Full Disclosure, GL? You should have noted whatever panel you are now running.
    
    I heard your setup once and it was FABULOUS........
