I agree with this.
After reading the initial message and disregarding the condescending tone and rudeness, I find that they seem to lack pride of their product allowing messed up examples to reach the market and also don't care about the craftsmanship more then to the outer looks.
It seems that they want to play in the big boys pool with a boat of good looking plastic that do float but lack the quality of the big boys war ships.
It's "kind" of them to let the "masses" be able to get a hold of a pair of planars for lesser money and a lot of them doesn't care about looking under the socks and would probably not get any smarter if they did.
As planars is regarded as HIGH END SPEAKERS from start, Magnepan will ride that wave but with low end build quality and QC.
Well, they look cool and it's so incredible that sound can come out of those flat walls that some actually buy them for that.
That's ok.
But when the rest of the High End buyers that really care about build quality and sound quality, think they are doing a grate bargain on a pair of magneplanars, they are suddenly faced with the dire need of various upgrades.
Personally I find the flimsiness of the hole-plate a serious design flaw.
So serious that I find it really hard to see the seriousness of the design as a whole.
But I may be not the main customer they want and look for.
And I to not think that they would EVER present a "special" speaker with all the bells and whistles as that would just prove that the rest of their product line are made with less quality and parts.
So in some way they make planar sound more available to more people with less money and less quality demand.
And as PG has mentioned earlier, that's their business plan and it's OK.
As for some forum members here... I am amazed of the lack of focus on topics and surrender themselves to personal attacks and childish comments.
Very sad.
It just puts a ugly stain on the forum and a bad taste in Your mouth.
Cheers from a cold and snowy Sweden!
