You left out Dr K! These three craftsmen have illustrated what 'can' be done by a skilled woodworker. All three designs differ, but all three are beautiful to my eyes. To a far lesser degree, I have shown that an ordinary schmuck can build his own (but still attractive) hardwood frames, and cook up a different design to boot. Others have taken different routes which ended in various levels of improvement (functional and aesthetic) over stock (I hope that reads like I intended it). Frankly, I believe this is how it will forever remain and I don't mind it one bit - think about the implied subtext (especially as it relates to their 20 series) if Magnepan were to do what you propose (and how long would it take to get 100 of these built?). There are more hardwood framed Maggies on the horizon and I look forward to seeing them all, but I honestly think they will always be in the domain of the aftermarket - built by hardcore nutcases like us!
