entry planar setup

Considering switching the bedroom system to planar, just to do something different.
What's the best way for ~$1000 to try planrs?

I see Maggies MMG's for $550 new, is it possible to get a decent integrated that can drive these for $500 or so, volume level not critical. How sensitive ar these speakers to room placement?

Would also consider an amp, since I may have an extra pre-amp kicking around depening on next system change.

A friend has a pair of Monsoons. They sound really good.

Piglet,

How about a pair of Martin Logan Aerius? If you want to avoid power cords you can find used Apogees on the 'net BUT ribbons sure need plenty of current to get 'em going. Think Classe, Krell, McCormack, Levinson kind of juice... I'd lean towards the ML's myself, they can be had for $1000 delivered. I have a pair in my home office, love'em. Be forewarned, once you get hooked on planars you won't have a box speaker left in any of your systems!
