Magnepan DWM Bass Panel
Does anyone have experience with the Magnepan DWM bass panel? I am entertaining the idea of getting one to use with my pair of Magnepan 0.7 speakers.
My room is approximately 16.3' x 13.3' x 7.5', and the Maggies are placed along the short side about 3' away from the wall. The only practical place to put the DWM would be somewhere between the speakers.
@jafant Thanks for sharing your impressions! @johnto I am currently running my Maggies with an 8" B&W AS608 subwoofer, but I don't think I have dialed it in very well. Maybe there are benefits of using a planar bass panel like the DWM with Maggies vs. a traditional subwoofer? I think the DWM uses a non-adjustable high pass filter to feed the Maggies. |
Good point about considering a better subwoofer, which in turn I can also use with my box speakers. @johnto Yes, I have it setup at around 55 Hz and volume as low as possible to avoid boominess. I used a spectrum analyzer on my iPad to help with the adjustments. I have two listening positions, the sweet spot and the "comfortable" spot, and unfortunately the sweet spot has a null at around 60 Hz, and the comfortable spot is a bit boomy with the sub :( |
