Product differentiation and dual-stocking are certainly issues that militate against an "elite" version, but there's also what may be a far more compelling issue alluded to in Wendell's post--namely the impact an economic recession has on potential customers and therefore on manufacturers. Just maintaining sales with Magnepan's standard products may well be daunting enough in today's market without committing to an "SE" or "elite" line. Having seen what a much earlier recession did to the audio market (and my income) that time around, I doubt that even if the spirit at White Bear Lake were willing there'd be the means in terms of cost/benefit projections to tool up for such an effort. Something we audio junkies who occasionally are oblivious to everything else should keep in mind.
