RE: Why are used 3.6, 3.7, 3.7i so hard to find?

Just noting the facts:

I hope you'll agree that Maggies are a 'hear before purchase' decision. So that means either travel and risk disappointment from cosmetics or perhaps delam.
OR buy local with the same limits of cosmetics or delam. At least local doesn't mean a cross-country trip with unknown outcome.

And for models with the ribbon? Make sure the ribbon cover is included. I don't know you could move a pair cross-town, let alone cross-country without such protection and end up with functional tweeters. I underestand they are fairly fragile.

One ad said they were 9:10 and had ONE stripped insert in the stand. 9:10? sure.

I've owned Maggies for 35 years or so. I sort of wish I still had my MG-1s, which I had rebuilt by Magnepan, changing to a more modern sock finish and color in the process.

The real problem, or maybe observation would be more correct, is that the USED market is not quite what it was. I think whoever floated the idea that people were hanging onto stuff was on the right track. The largest demographic of hi-end audio is aging and entering the 'fixed income' phase of retirement.
Too much is never enough
