What happened to Monsoon Audio?

I was thinking of buying some planar speakers for my desktop PC which I believe are (were) the best in the market. Their website monsoonaudio.com has been showing 'Coming soon' for several months now!!! Anyone knows if they are really going to make a comeback?

Are there any other desktop/multimedia planar speakers in the same price range?

I purchased these for my computer.

They really sound fantastic. I use au-24 speaker wire and I added a 10awg power cord to the amp. It does soundstage. Somewhere they might sell the clear acrylic instead of the wood speaker.

I bought the Vonschweikert FPS speakers. Being a previous owner of VonSchweikert series, I was hoping a lot. However was in for a little dissapointment. The speakers are good but lack seriously in the bass department. The bass just doesn't seem to by rythmic. I am not a bass lover so can live with the speakers. But the boston acoustics speakers I have do a much better job in speed and bass. The VSs though rule in clarity and sweetness. Also the cables provided seem to be of cheapest quality. I guess I need to change the cables.

As typical of VS, the packaging was good.

Overall not a bad choice amongst the limited choices in Planar/Electrostatic Computer speakers but VonSchweikert could have done better. The speakers are certainly not for gaming but for pure music - jazz, vocals, r&b ... type.
