Is Magnepan still in business ?

Does anyone know if these guys are still actively in business? No one answers the phone, no one returns a VM, no one returns an email- except Wendell who briefly and vaguely says "I'm no longer involved with sales and I'm traveling"- 

 

I ordered a pair of LRS+ back in November with a woman at Magnepan who now seems to no longer be there (her email bounces back) and when I call/email to check in on the order I get nothing from anyone. Does anyone know what's going on or is it as obvious as it appears- they're out of or going out of business? Bizarre.

I looked outside last night. It was dark. Did the Sun go out of business?

speedthrills....Here name is Charlene and she answers txt messages assuming you have the right number.  If you have her number and message her and it doesn't work, PM me with the number you have and I'll see if it matches the one I've used to communicate with her.  Based on what she told me about five weeks ago, lead times were still about 6 months....so if you ordered mid November....you are probably looking at late May or early June as the realistic delivery timeframe.

Still Magnepan should reply regardless of all the excuses. It is just good proper business.

I'd love to see just one MAGNEPAN that didn't include someone shilling for Eminent Technology.

The definition of "shilling" is of a hustler or con artist who tries to convince others to buy something that will benefit the shiller.

As a long-time (and current) Magnepan owner (first pair bought in 1973) that term does not fit me. I also own the Eminent Technology LFT-8b, which I thought the OP might like to become aware of. Everyone knows about the planar-magnetic loudspeakers offered by Magnepan, far fewer that Eminent Technology offers a somewhat similar (and imo superior) loudspeaker as well.

You got a problem with that? May I ask why?
