Is Magnepan still in business ?
@yogiboy I guess I will but it already feels like I'm trying way to hard to both try to make a purchase and to follow up with an unresponsive company. I also understand that Magnepan doesn't sell the LRS+ through dealers and only sells that model ...

@arcticdeth    Sure-  what info do you need ? Thanks   
Is Magnepan still in business ?
Somethings going on- the phone number and various options for Sales, Service, Orders etc. still work but no one answers or returns a call. Proceed with extreme caution at this point I'd say.   
KEF's meta material gimmick?

Aurender vs Roon

Do speaker cables really make a difference ?
I'm assuming you posted this intentionally to get a slew of responses- the equivalent of "likes" on other sites.    Nope, not at all. I run my 15k amp with my 25k speakers with solid core bell wire I buy at Lowes. Sounds wonderful.
