Wendell, who has been following the recent discussions, asked me to post this note: I can't take time away from other tasks which are in desperate need of attention to become involved in chat room discussions. However, if any of you want to call, I would enjoy a break from the usual phone calls of what amplifier is best or how to repair a 30 year old Maggie, etc. (If you quote me, please try to be accurate. It is distressing to see my words inaccurately reported and the necessity to respond.) Like any company, our staff would like more sales. I agree, but I point out that we should be thankful that we have survived. Business was easier in the Old Days when we had full-range planar competitors like Apogee and Acoustat. They were successful and had worldwide distribution that rivaled Magnepan's. Today, there are full-range planar competitors, but if success is measured by distribution, Magnepan is #1. We have distributors in Bangladesh, South Africa, Viet Nam, not to mention China, India, etc. After 44 years marketing Maggies, I seldom hear an idea that hasn't been tried or considered. The advice is well intentioned. I don't have the time to fully explain our point of view. However, two principles can address many of the suggestions or criticisms that I've heard -- 1) Changes or new models must pass blind testing. 2) The value must be overwhelming due to the ever-increasing resistance to large speakers. |

I don't even really know what Twitter is, somewhat doubt they'd be keen on the idea TBH. |
This is funny. Where customers need a post or two from the CEO so they 'feel better'? crazy. nt, posted on March 22, 2017 at 10:12:48 | |
