Anyone familiar with the Manger driver?

I have heard all the Manger speakes made by the company. The best result comes out with powerful fast amps.I got a fantastic sound using 103s with Gamut electronics.Both these products have their detractors,but brought together under the right conditions,the combination can take on some the best.I suggest all Manger users to try using Gamut electronics with Mangers.When using Gamut,please use their own balanced interconnect cable only.

In my opinion,which I have held for sometime,is that every electrostatic and ribbon loudspeaker manufacturer should own a Manger in their listening setup.This will allow them to resist over playing the transparency card,which mars many a fine planar loudspeaker.
The problem with the Manger lies in the fact that it sounds bad at most times with most setups.It is a task to get them to shine,but when an experienced chap does get it right,few loudspeakers can beat the 103 in every aspect of reproduction, and those few cost at least 2.5 times upwards the price of a 103.

I believe Mangers have been used in PA applications in Germany.
You should find out from your local dealer how Manger has gone about doing this.

Dear D-edwards,
I was really kicked about reading the projest you did 7 years ago.I too am thinking about a Manger based project but using the opposite path,utmost simplicity.A 400 cycle 1st order x-over using two Scanspeak 18W/8546-00 for the lower duties.
Would be nice to hear your opinion.

Dear Derek,
I must congratulate you on the progress you have made with the product line over the past 2-3 years. There was a point, when I really feared that the unforgiving commercial audio mafia would not allow a shinning light like Overkill Audio to survive, as it has happened to many great products in the past. Once again my best wishes are with you for the success of your brave venture.

All I can say is, Manger, either love them or loathe them. I am in the previous camp.As I said earlier Derek, you have taken a brave path, hope you reach your goal financially, because in the end it is all about the money.

Dear Derek,
I would say good for him, as he is doing something in his products that seems to have many in the audio world admiring them. I will put it like this, let Overkill do what it is doing best,i.e making a radical product at an approachable price point if possible. Clearly Overkill cannot be sold via the traditional High End supply chain. It can only succeed if you manage to find extremely dedicated resellers and clients who believe in the technical approach, which you will find.Therefore none of the traditional brands are your competition and hence do not matter.
