I hope you're right, and you most likely are Dave.
With your comment I'm reminded of the number of times a colleague would come to me asking about my business processes. I would often share what I did, even to the point of providing detailed documentation and they still didn't have the motivation to implement any of it. They seemed to gain more reward from complaining about all the external negative factors they could do nothing about that kept them from succeeding.
I think most of us here really respect what Magnepan represents and the products they produce. I just hate to see someone exploit their hard work and most likely produce something terrible in the process.

I had a agent in our group benefits shop make a handshake partnership with a property/casualty agent. He allowed the PC guy to go with him on his presentations. I told him it was a bad idea...
The other guy learned his shtick and cut him out.
Ha! One of the businesses we owned for 35+ years was a captive insurance agency.

I see no secrets divulged either. The patents are there for everyone to read and give you an idea of the work behind it. Like the placement of "tiedowns" is a matter of trial and error. There is a combination of many factors that go into where to place these and that is not talked about in detail. In the end, for the 3.7i it is rather complicated compared to the first Tympani. I do not see a large market for speakers like the Magnepan, it would not be something like a ship load going anywhere. Of course, there are already other speakers like Magnepan around for several years, the demand is low, nothing for a large scale production anywhere.
Like I said in my original comment, I was primarily referring to manufacturing processes that were shown, not specific design metrics. Design would be pretty simple to reverse engineer with say, something simple like an LRS+. It's those shop floor processes that can take years to optimize. A lot of those little assembly jigs, facility layout, kitting, etc. - the empirical side of the assembly that can take years to optimize. There's quite a bit of that demonstrated in the videos. Like I also said, why make it easy for someone to copy? Magnepan gains absolutely nothing by showing it all off.
As for the demand for a Maersk container bound for Amazon and packed to the brim with $300/pair LRS+ knock-offs? I think the waiting list of the real deal speaks for it self. There's decent demand.

Yup, Musk.
