That would be the very definition of a hostile takeover.

Since all current and future Maggie owners have skin in this game, I'd wager this just ain't gonna happen.

Any company that has built it's reputation ...and a loyal customer base... over 50 years should view "quiet" abandonment of it's design principle as a non-starter. . This could easily end up a bonafide boner rather than a bonafide hit if this all goes south. Wendell is wise to keep these things close to the vest.

While I'm sure any new Magnepan design demos will be greeted with guarded enthusiasm and curiosity, it's the original vision of music emanating from a regal Kubrick-esque obelisk that gripped the imagination of music fans in the 60's and continues to breathe life into Magnepan today. Bass limitations notwithstanding, folks love Maggie's for their unique musical imaging and design, not in spite of it.

There's no way to pitch WAF as the number one selling point for rolling out "improved" Magnepan product without concerns over compromising the speaker design's appeal to it's core audience.

Wendell might as well promote the new design as "30.7 for Marie Kondo" if the idea is reducing Maggie's footprint, ...but Maggie's bigger than Marie. If they go toe to toe, my money's on Maggie! She toes-in better without yielding ground or pulling any punches. ;0)

Cheers,
AuPh
