I think it was the 1.7 that was selling for €3-3.5k, Dave.
I've heard some of the Maggies, but I can't remember which and it's a long time ago (Joe Lanigan era). As I've said to you before, I always really WANT to like panels/ribbons, but I often don't for whatever reason so I'm not sure my opinion is of much use to you. Certainly the Maggies that I heard back then didn't change my view (they didn't impress me the way the Martin Logan CLSIIz did, for example) and this was back in my college days when I was much lower on the upgrade ladder than now. Of course, my younger ears were listening for something different, so who knows how I'd feel about them these days.
Definitely report back when you hear them. I might be in Cloney's soon enough myself and I'll try to get a listen if so.
