Pete, our opinions are not so far apart. I did not want to address the appropriateness of III's vs 1.6's vs oh no, SMGa's, vs etc. and whether there are better bargains in the Maggie line. I think we both agree that a buyer of original MGIII's will be looking at a bigger bill than the purchase price. Still $500 is a fair price assuming the speakers are in good condition. He can always turn around and sell them for the same and perhaps more. On the other hand, money put in to replace the ribbons and for new socks and to have Magnepan relaminate the speakers, would probably not be recoverable - I think a fully restored pair of III's would sell for about $900.00, not enough to break even. And finally, I agree with you that the MG 3 series,just like the SMGa, is not for every room.I may be an egoist but at least I don't talk about other people.
