going forward...

8-) You're Welcome. I'm sure!

I often wonder what will happen to Magnepan when the inevitable happens and Wendell retires or (God forbid) drops in his tracks. As I've mentioned, I've met and talked with Wendell, but the conversations have been brief and face time even less. My point is that I dont really know the man at all. That said, I have been involved enough to form an opinion based on my observations. He's old enough to retire but he looks years younger. I saw him recently when he was doing his roadshow demoing the new home theatre stuff. I overheard him saying he'd just left the gym. He appears to be in fantastic shape and healthy as a horse as the old saying goes. My impression is that he's a type A workoholic. If any of this is true and the Winey's continue to employ him Wendell will be a major influence on Magneplanar's products for the next decade or two. IMHO this is both good, and bad. I appreciate that Magnepan makes the best high end speaker value available. From my selfish personal position I dont want that to change. I'd like to someday be able to afford their top of the line and that will never happen if Wendell decides to take MP into competition with the mega bucks crowd. Now, here's the rub; IF Wendell (and the Winey's) decided to make a statement speaker from a cost be damned we can make the best speaker in the world standpoint, I think that Magnepan would succeed beyond anyone's wildest expectations. In other words, and as others have said in this thread; Wendells a pro and he's been doing this a long time. If he had a statement he felt he needed to make he could have said it better, and he could have been courteous enough to say it in person. But that's Wendell...

No offense to the OP.
