What happened to Monsoon Audio?


I was thinking of buying some planar speakers for my desktop PC which I believe are (were) the best in the market. Their website monsoonaudio.com has been showing 'Coming soon' for several months now!!! Anyone knows if they are really going to make a comeback?

Are there any other desktop/multimedia planar speakers in the same price range?

Check ebay for the 14 series (i think this is correct as was their top model), scored a pair for $35. Not bad for 2 satellites and a 8" sub. Just replaced them with a pair of fosgate monitors ($159 from ac4l.com) and a panasonic sa-xr50 ($229 from etronic) so I could go digital out from my pc and also use my HD600's without a headphone amp. The monsoon's sounded really good though, and I could blend the sub with the satellites easily. Swans are the other option, check at newegg for $180 a pair.
Hey Siliab - thanks for your response. I checked out Eminent-Tech's LFT model and the prices are a little too steep, I should say. $599 for a 2 pair + sub and $899 for a four speaker + sub system!!!

Any others that you know of? There are some refurbished Monsoon ones on ebay - unfortunately there aren't the better ones that Monsoon had - specifically the MM-1000 and MM-2000.
Hello Harry,

Looking at the the ET website, I believe the speaker and sub also come with an amplifier. Although the ET system is not cheap, they do some reasonable for what you get. Just FYI.

Cheers
I purchased these for my computer.

They really sound fantastic. I use au-24 speaker wire and I added a 10awg power cord to the amp. It does soundstage. Somewhere they might sell the clear acrylic instead of the wood speaker.
