I love Magnepan to death and all it represents, but aside from the MMG home trial program, the marketing side of the house could use a good shot in the arm (perhaps the 'quote-end quote' Wendell visit).And you really don't have to look far..
-observing their website which shows a pair of 3.6's pushed up against a wall in a waaaay too small room
-Also the 20.1's being model'd with someone who's dressed like she's from the old TV series 'fame'.Sure; keep cost down, but do it without being cheesy.
I think the stagnation in presenting 'new and improved' Maggie products has to do with Jim's retirement and the addition of their home theater line.
I remember some of the best turntables to hit the streets were being churned out around '81,'82; only to be crushed by the new wave of CD players hitting the scene.
The fact Magnepan is still standing is a testament to their business model. Businesses don't survive from customers, they survive from banks and apparently their bank has enough faith in them-so far.
