You would have to 'pay off' dealers and that is not the Magnepan way. Wendell is a fair and honorable man and works best with the few dealers that still exhibit passion for musical values at fair prices.
Follow Ups:
Sadly, there are fewer and fewer of those -- dealers are dropping like flies, and many of the ones that remain sell into the luxury market and are no longer selling on the basis of sound.
Josh: Glad you are well; Wendell trying to hit a 'coop' market that was being abandoned in NYC-weather people are willing to add the 30.7 to their once considered vacation property or 2nd homes is a whole other question. People are in disarray -scared shit;less every day in NYC and similar cities. It is the 1970's all over again. There is a a a lot of 'bitcoin type digital play that occupies peoples souls, if there any left. the 30.7 is a half of bit coin . Not about money for those who have it or those who have just minted it. Sorry about Lyric even though they were stereo hooligans -one less outlet for Magnepans.
Hope you can still listen to music. My musical concentration has slipped significantly and my ability to recall part of the music I loved passionately is diminishing. Best UT
Hi Utley,
Still listening when I can find the time, which is too seldom! In fact, I was in New York for about three weeks this month.
One sad issue is that the high end distribution network is going to pieces. NY is gone with Lyric, Chicago is gone. There's virtually no distribution on the East Coast anymore and Wendell is looking for solutions, including small dealers that specialize in Maggies.
I think that the main issue with 30.7's is their size -- you either need a gigantic living room or a dedicated sound room. We'll know better with the 30.7 C.
