RE: Wow

"It's mostly all about the patented "intellectual property" that keeps the startup competition at bay."

Many key patents have surely expired.

Apogee today could probably sell without patent problems, as does Analysis Audio.

There are plenty of big enough companies in Asia who could give it a try if they wanted---after all there is King Sound making electrostatics, which may be even more tricky.

My conclusion is that there's actually a large amount of internal experience necessary to make magnetic planars actually be manufacturable and sound good---and it's hard to compete at the Magnepan's price point.
