Mike Powell is a clown.
Decent tour of the Magnepan facility though.
Thank you for posting the links.

Clown isn't the term I was thinking of.Funny he talks about snake oil at the end of the 2nd part when he is the king of opportunistic $nake oil kit$.
He will gladly charge naive Maggie customers $75 for some magical bypass fuse bus bars instead of telling the person they can just wire around the entire fuse holder fixture, FOR FREE in @ 5 minutes.

I'm in the wrong business, I tell ya.
The audiophile fleecing business is fertile territory Josh.
However, I think I know you well enough to know you'd not be able to sleep at night.

A shame, isn't it? In my next life, I want to be born without a conscience. :-)
I gather the Magnepan guys didn't know who he was.
I guess they can be forgiven for that, but this isn't the type of publicity avenue they need. Lesson learned, hopefully.

I did a factory tour with my brother a while ago. I knew this stuff before I came there, how the tuning works, the crossovers, foil vs. round wire etc. I would have liked to spend more time there, Ken was kind of pushing us through. Would have liked a chat with Diller and Mark. maybe on how they do
development. If you are satisfied with a speaker, how do get from there? A good point was that there was work being done there, you could see how things were being done. Most impressive was the foil to Mylar process. I cannot remember seeing 3M 30 NF being used for foil but for sure the Super 77 was used. The Tympani TVa seen in the video, is it ttviper1400's on this forum?
I gather Ken has been busy! Probably just short on time. Also, Wendell told me that he wished he'd been able to spend some time with you.
