Nick if you do get the Magnepan 1.6 make sure you run a big enough amp.
I had a pair of 1.6qr and tried to run them with my Cary sli-80, 80 watt tube amp and it did not cut the mustard.
It was not a lack of volume but more of a sluggish response.
I then hooked them up to my Mcintosh Mc352, 350 wattts per channel that I normally power my Egglestonworks Andra IIs with and it made a world of difference.

Nick, even I have been considering these, but don't know if you want to go back...

I'd wait for some VR-2s to come up as that is what you seem to really want. Once you get those, the Stingray is not too much further away...

I've been eyeing those as well, but don't want to pay the shipping on them.  If only I lived closer.  There was a pair that sold in LA last month for $900 local pickup only.

naaaa...all set w/those.  wife no likey.  I've got to get something a little less conspicuous than a two cherry and fabric refrigerators on either side of the TV.

vr2s.
ok...I just need to cough up that Grand I guess.
they are fairly common at $1300 as well...though saving money is nice. 

the stingray...though i love it...I'd get the Pathos first.  more power, remote, glowing reviews all around, same price on the used market.  be a nice shootout between those two.
