Although I'm personally set on any non-vintage stereo equipment, I do think there is some room for MD to disrupt in the space. If they could find the receiver or amp equivalent of the HD650 (i.e., a top notch older model) and give it the MD treatment, I think there's a market. Stereo has been pretty static for a long time (vs. Home Theater, for instance), so a great stereo receiver with some cost cutting and design tweaks around the edges could draw some interest. Ditto with the equivalent in speakers. That said, I think the margins on audio equipment are so slim, and the costs of shipping heavy items like these are so high that it would be pretty hard for them to turn a profit on standard stuff you can find elsewhere.

GunsOfBrixtonTurntables are such a niche product, there's a lot of snake oil and profit margin built into it. But I don't think the volume of sales if there to justify it. I think that would apply to phono cartridges as well. You're spot on when it comes to speakers, MDF and tone woods are heavy so even if you sell them as semi DIY flat pack, shipping won't be cheap.
