They had a used pair for sale but they are long gone. You might have seen a pair of MG3.6s which are taller than most people think - but no MG20.1s. rsy

You MUST order them from your local dealer. You cannot order direct from the factory. (except the littlist ones) The dealer network is not allowed to sell speakers to anyone in another dealers area. My local Hi-Fi dealer used to sell Maggies.. He says the company policies are 'neoNazi' in character. _I know he dropped them, not kicked out) Anyway, I love the Maggie sound! but with no local dealer... it sucks. (I agree the problem with demos.. I think Maggie has rules about how products are placed that make it very hard to have the big stuff in stock.)
