RE: Thank you for the effort....

Mark, Josh rightly named the Eminent Technology magnetic-planar speakers as the main competition for Magnepan. Are you familiar with them? The LFT-8b uses a sealed 8" dynamic woofer for 180Hz down, with a pair of m-p LFT drivers for 180Hz to 10kHz (that's right: 180Hz-10kHz, with no crossover!), and a ribbon tweeter above that. Not nearly as well known as Magneplanars for some reason (other than few dealers and even fewer reviews ;-), but with a devoted cult following (and rave reviews in the UK press, as well as The Absolute Sound, for what that's worth ;-). $2499/pr.

There were earlier, pure magnetic-planar ET models: the LFT-3, LFT-4, and LFT-6, all now collectors items. I own pairs of LFT-4, LFT-8b, and Magneplanar Tympani T-IVa. Love 'em all! If I had a spare 15 grand, I'd buy a pair of Sanders ESL's.
