RE: Magnepan service hello....

Posted by timm on March 17, 2017 at 21:29:51:
Well. I happen to like the fact that Magnepan is on the more boutique side of the aisle. Wait time for speakers - I accept that. They are not something sittingin dealers stock for the most part - they are made to order ...yes? Rebuilding any speaker they have ever made? Martin Logan backed off of that and pushed costs way up there for replacement panels. A product completely made in house in minny...I like that too. I also like their cost structure. Getting a 20.7 is a complete stretch for me - but it is one I plan on taking. 20-25k and on up? Forget it - I can't do it. I have a very well known dealer two miles from me that sells wilsons, sonus faber etc... there is no way I would pull the trigger on a 40k pair of strads. Guess what - he doesn't sell magnepan. And who could blame him since he wants to sell speakers in the 40-100k price range.

Staying small also puts them in a better position to weather bad economic times. They must be doing something right.
