It's not you MM, it's Magnepan.
First I want to say I love my Maggies and have no problem with Magnepan's business model.
But... they do things the way they do things. They don't seem to notice or care what the latest trends or customer desires are. Their products have not significantly changed from their originals in 1969 (correct year?). To some that may seem a negative thing.
They make a great product for a reasonable price. Could it be better? Certainly. They could pack their products with technology and exotic materials and components. Of course Magnepan could make them sound even better. Cost would be higher. Many would not be able to afford the price of admission. We all know the special sound of planars and it would be sad if that was out of reach for more people.
Plus, I'm a bit of a Luddite. I like elegant old things that function well. Like Maggies and tubes.
Hey Mark Man,
Most of the items on your wish list are available aftermarket or by modding.
