Is Magnepan still in business ?

We are a dealer and they are in business. They always ran a quirky operation but are also having staffing challenges since the pandemic. They are flat out trying to keep up with orders. Some of their long time people have retired, and the founder’s son has instituted some management changes. Kinks from this are not yet worked out. My opinion only.  And yes, the weather in the Northern Plains may have caused them to close up for a few days.

I spoke to them about the still not available LRS+ stands last month, have never had a problem getting hold of someone there...

And then there is Bruce Thigpen, who has himself answered the Eminent Technology phone when I have called them.

If at all possible, try and hear the ET LFT-8b (or the new -8c, which replaces the -8b's sealed omnipole woofers with dipoles), like Magnepan's a planar-magnetic dipole loudspeaker. 5' tall, 13" wide, $2900/pr. 

After a few more calls today, they called back and are preparing to ship the speakers so all's well that ends well I guess.

I emailed MAGNEPAN and got a reply from Eric in marketing, who said:

"The Twin Cities metro was hit with a large snowstorm that started on Wednesday. Magnepan closed early and was not open for normal business yesterday.

Magnepan has been in business for 53 years, and is not going out of business. We just had the highest volume sales year we have had in more than 10 years. Plenty to look forward to!"
