Magnepan mg1b speakers

The very first Magnepan speaker 1976 to 1980 MG-1 worth $100
The second edition: 1980 to 1984 MG-1 'improved' worth $100.
So if they currently play, and sound good, then use them until they start to fall apart. Then, maybe some Maggie nut would want them for a Maggie museum?
To PAY for a refurb is out.. money wise. If you try to use them until they fall apart. (the glue bonding the plastic and the wires has GOT to be going bad) you might get a few days play if you play them loud.
IMO this is a: "if you got them for free them grab them, If you gotta pay ten bucks.. OK.. If they want real money... thank them and walk away" sort of deal.
(For less than $400 you can buy modern used MMgs and have some speakers you can play)
(If you Do buy them.: over on the Audio Asylum they have a planar group. go there to find out about regluing the panels

ditto what Elizabeth says, the wire will fall off.

I had a pair of MG1's twenty five years ago (!) that needed repair to the wire that came unglued.

It is an easy fix (that I did myself) but not worth the bother IMO...

Thanks for your info it really helps

You made a great purchase with these maggies, i love his wide soundstage. They are not the most efficient speakers, but they are still good.
