Is Magnepan still in business ?

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!"

Magnepan is a manufacturer. Calling them is like calling GM because your Chevy needs service. They are understaffed and are tough to deal with but most of the time, they are busy working on your order.
