After years of poo-pooing the significance or various upgrades, Magnepan is now marketing and selling them.   Were they wrong all this time and finally saw the error of their thinking, or are they now just seeking additional profit?  Have they in any way addressed this turn about?  By the way. I am a big maggie fan

They're just finally going to take money from the most gullible people on earth.

SPAM ALERT!

Why would you want a magneplanar (stock or modded) when you can make an inexpensive Dipole two way speaker that is superior for very ittle money? Use the 12 inch woofs used in the Caladan and Spatial X4 and use GRS planars above them...crossed over at 400hz. Way more dynamic....way more sensitive.....way more exciting. Please listen to the sound on this Youtube video about the Spatial X4.......however this Beyma AMT that you hear in the video is crossed somewhere around 1K......now imagine a dipole planar crossed at 400hz......same woofs. The X4 in this video is the older one.....now updated with better xover parts and now costs $9800. The speaker you can build will not cost more than $2K. Listen to the bass on these tracks. 2 12 inch great woofs on an open baffle are seriously good. I will have my version up and running some time this week.....this is getting exciting!
