thanks everyone, some context, i love magnepan!! i recently tried to purchase the 30.1's and called the company several times but couldn't connect with somebody other than the front desk. after phone tag for weeks i lost interest and they would not respond to emails at all. but i came away with a funny feeling that there was something up. the only thing that kept me from cutting a check to my dealer was the total and complete refusal to confirm Mye stand dimensions for the 30.1's. i even had drafting drawings from Mye Co. directly to show magnepan. i sent them and magnepan ignored my emails. but they refused to convey any information as to weather the stand dimensions were correct by phone also. i got the feeling that their only goal was to pitch me on being a home dealer and were hoping to bypass the/my dealer. i really felt this. the mag adds instilled this in my mind. for sure Magnepan is walking away from their brick and mortar network in hopes of setting up home user outlets. Or just planning on going internet direct like P.S/Coincident and such companies. Cary also. it's the future for sure, like it or not. but so SOLD OUT does not seem like BACK ORDER to me. by the way, nobody has sold more 1.6's to referrals in the Chicago land area than me so don't confuse me with trolling magnepan.
