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?

I feel that Planar's and Maggies are not a ton of money because there are not expensive cabinet considerations, no special amp is needed as long as it has alot of juice 200w plus is ideal IMO.
Eminent Technology LFTVIIIA is a great speaker with a cone woofer and planar mid and tweeter and is right around $1500.
As usual you also need room from the back wall to get them to breath life into your room with best results.
