Those people are just like drug dealers -- they give you a little taste

Wow! That is an astonishing price, if the Magnepans are anywhere near
as good as people usually claim them to be!
This particular model is clearly their drug dealer 'first time is free'
the target market is home theater folks, not hard core audiophiles.
But Maggies and Quads are not all that expensive themselves.
They take a lot of rooms and often have bad WAF. But the
speakers bring a lot of bang for the buck.
Still, a good speaker calls for a good amp, and a planar speaker might
call for a very good amp.
Traditionally, planars present a different kind of load
that doesn't take kindly to wimpy amps. I think it is
more of a current thing than a simple watt requirement.
But I'm not an EE.
