This is an example of something Magnepan canNOT do - period. This kind of craftsmanship takes a temendous investment of time and work, not to mention the skill of a serious woodworker. It's like looking at at a Rolls Royce and asking why GM doesn't build cars like that. The number of craftsmen, tools and thus space, not to mention the time required to produce these speakers on a large scale would drive them so far into the level of esoterica that few could afford them. If they chose to abandon the masses and built them on a small scale, the same thing would happen to the cost and you might spend the next 10 years on a waiting list. I have zero criticism to direct at Magnepan for their manufacturing philosophy; in fact, I'm eternally grateful.
I do, however, understand your sentiment.
