I noticed that Madison Sound is out of stock on the 10P. Does anyone know if they were they discontinued?

I’d be surprised, I think it’s one of their best sellers, which is probably why it’s out of stock.
The longeveity of the A10p is, in my mind, in question. Not available for some time, officially not discontinues AFAIK.
Last i checked d”Archer in Oz has some stock.
There may still be a pair of A10PeN in a closet in ON.

KJF Audio in the UK lists them as in stock (can be backordered). Just call Madisound and ask when they'll be back in stock?

I have A10s but I see a lack of backwards compatibility for A10 enclosures from their new drivers. If they discontinue the A10 all these enclosures have no future for repairs and upgrades. Enclosures is where my time is most invested, the $ are not the regret for me. Hence, I am now returning to the Fostex fold as well as exploring Lowther as they appear to have the more stable portfolios. Let’s hope A10 still has a long life.
To the best of my knowledge, the Alpair 10.3 and 10P are not under any threat of being discontiuned. They're currently in their 8th year of production and still sell in decent numbers, so as long as people want and buy them, they'll keep making them.
I heared from people that there are not many in stock due to production issues but that they will be availeble again later on. I don't know if that is true, but it would be stupid from Mark Audio as this is a very popular driver to discontinue it. I know that was also the case earlier on in the Covid pandemy that some drivers were not getting delivered to distributors while they were ordered a long time ago...
I realize these are half way around the world....

As noted, to the best of my knowledge, the Alpair 10.3 and 10P are not under any threat of being discontinued. Production and shipping due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic have however hit many manufacturers in China, with factories locked down & a lack of available container space for international deliveries.
