MP has been suspected of selling product at what must be near cost.
At least on the LRS. I imagine Wendel got wind of it and said "Enough"!
No mention of LRS / LRS+ on Magnepan website???
After reading many positive comments on the new Magnepan LRS+, I went to the magnepan website to review details, and was surprised to find no mention of either the LRS+ or the LRS baseline/original. Even using the search function on the website came up nil. Hmmm.
Does anyone know what happened to both the + and the original? Wondering if the direct sale approach was an issue, or is the Baseline was dropped and the + is not yet in production. Or???
thoughts?
You've probably seen this new review....the word is that they have 6 months+ of orders already on hand and that they are having to adjust their manufacturing to handle the volume....don't forget they have dealer orders coming in for their other speakers on a daily/weekly basis. If this is true, it suggests that they may have pulled the LRS off the website until they are back into a position to take orders and give people a reasonable promise on lead time. |
Magnepan called me last month to update my waiting list order for the LRS+, asking if I wanted the new stands, and to pick a color, as gray will no longer be offered...they told me they needed to fulfill all backorders for the LRS before they could start producing the LRS+...those on the 6 month LRS waiting list were given the option of still getting their LRS, or being at the head of the line for the 33% more expensive LRS+... |
