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?

jeffseight- I might concur, except

1-magnepan has a history of entry level speakers mmg, smg, etc. 

2- why introduce the + version at Axpona?

3- if margins so tight, then why not just raise prices? There is/was a long (many months) waiting period on LRS orders. Seems like a simple business solution

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+...
