RE: Maggie madness

Weird, isn't it? Part of it I think is that once you reach a certain price point, you have to spend an awful lot to make incremental improvements in sound quality. But I think we have to give a lot of credit to Magnepan here, because having asked Wendell about various options, I've learned that they never think about how to make a speaker better, they always think about how they can make it better *economically.* That relentless focus on value means that they work towards solutions that real people can afford, and avoid "everything but the kitchen sink" improvements that would drive the price up without offering much by way of audible improvement. For example, he points out that using neodynium magnets to improve the efficiency would end up costing the customer more than a bigger amp would.
