Magnepan has been stupidly (my opinion) chasing after the 'home theater' market for YEARS while ignoring their bread and butter, the 2-channel audiophile.
I know a good local dealer who was not allowed to carry the line because 'he didn't have enough home theater'. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
Magnepans just aren't that good at home theater. There, I said it. They are directional, need huge amounts of room, are very inefficient, don't blend well with subwoofers, on and on. Yes, many people have a nice little magnepan HT. Some people have huge rooms with Gigabuck 3.6 systems. But 90% of the home theater market (normal people, normal rooms) would NOT really benefit from Magnepans in their home theater.
But they ARE REALLY GOOD for 2-channel stereo. You know, music. I wish White Bear Lake would concentrate on their core market for awhile. It is always a mistake to ignore your core market and chase after the 'pie in the sky' of something that just ain't gonna happen.
