RE: Magnepan future

I'm not sure what you're saying here. If you mean that there could be someone lurking here with all the planar knowledge in the world, sure, I agree, which is why I said is much. For all I know, Jim Winey himself is spending his retirement reading every single post. But I haven't seen any evidence of that. The only planar expert I've seen come around here is Jim Smith, and in the absence of evidence to the contrary, I have no reason to assume that the expertise exists.

As to Graz, he has his own company, and his own forum. I don't dispute his expertise, in fact, I mentioned his company only four posts back. But he's gone pro, and even then, he isn't manufacturing speakers on a large scale, as opposed to running a boutique operation.

I won't say there's nothing new under the sun, but I have yet to see one innovation here that isn't, as the patent law says, obvious to someone versed in the state of the art. That's no insult to my fellow tweakers. One thing you learn as an engineer is that most of the solutions you come up with have already been thought of by someone else. So if someone does have a magic weapon unknown to Magnepan, I wish them all the luck in the world, but I'd have to see evidence of it. And even if they did, that wouldn't be the same as the knowledge needed to mass produce a practical planar that matches Magnepan's price/performance ratio.
