I am sure it costs more to get a box speaker with cone drivers to work really well than an open baffle planar speaker such as Magnepan. Crossovers are more complicated in cone speakers in a box because they have to deal with back EMF at different frequencies which are influenced by the mechanical properties of the cone and the surround and coil geometry. Cone drivers have more mass and make damping factor more significant. Cabinets have to be braced and soundproofed to stop cabinet noise. But they are very dynamic.
To me, the less expensive Magnepans sound more like a live purely acoustical orchestra in a concert hall. Everyone should try the different kinds of speakers and amplifiers because there will be differences in what people prefer.
