Planar speaker question


I am new to planar speaker, I have few NEWBIE questions.
1. How come Magnepan price is so cheap compare with normal speaker?
2. Do they need special amp to power up? I saw Magnepan speaker have special input.
3. For 1.5k, what is the best choice?

Actually, I may plan to get a Magnepan MG1.6 or 3.6. But I am wondering who is the different between MG1.6 (current model I saw on the offical website) and 1.6QR, are they the same or 1.6QR is older model? does MG1.6 sounds better?
And any maggie pro's know which models were quasi ribon and which were tru ribon? I beleive tru ribon is better compare with quasi ribon...right?
