Maybe initially seems like a good idea.

But considered from their point of view...
This site is mostly filled with people who modify their brand. "I'm taking what your successful company has done for 20+ years and changing it for the better." Even if they agreed that money aside, any and all mods were better, it wouldn't be prudent to agree to this on the Internet. And if they did, what next; which aftermarket capacitor is better Wendell? Most of us here know there are improvements that can be made to our Maggie's. Just like "X" brand car sites know their cars can be improved upon. Manufacturers have a budget and target buyers (we're the minority don't forget; the majority of Magnepan buyers are happy with them out of the box regardless if they know about possible modifications or not). So what are they going to do here if they're not answering questions about mods? Or QC?
Add to that the amount of people here who regularly cut down Magnepan.... not exactly laying out the red carpet for Wendell.
One benefit would be direct feedback, but I'm sure they're reading here frequently, so they get that anyway. Add dealer feedback, phone calls, etc and I think they know what their market wants and needs.
I think they're doing just fine as is. And although it may seem odd to channel this message through somebody, it keeps them separated from us which is probably best from their business perspective.
Just my humble opinion.
