My point is about intellectual property, IP. Who owns the IP? No one does everything and everyone uses someone elses IP at some level. For example, it may not make sense for M to own LED IP because that is a highly specialized field and may be best left to others. In fact it may make sense for M to buy the entire optical drive for their sources. Does the same reasoning apply to speaker/driver technology?

I have heard the 8ks. They are very impressive and they are what M is known for. But they are not speakers. They are systems-in-a-box. On the other hand, the 300s series are speakers, which I own. There is nothing wrong with them. But would M have been able to establish their existing reputation of being the best of the best based on this one product line alone?

I am just saying that as an owner of their 300 speakers, I would like to see M make more invesments in them. You won't find me posting that M should invest more in DSP technology because I know they will.
