magnepan experimenting

i have my modified mmgs performing pretty well. so tonite i turned them around to face wall with the metal perofrated side facing the room. this moved the tweeters to the inside configuration. they are on elevated stands and are braced also they sound very good but slightly more defined. can someone please explain what might be going on here? thanks

JBen on the Planar Asylum has measured the MMG's both ways and from the back the frequency response is tipped up between 10 and 15 kHz:

I'm guessing that's what you're hearing.

Those measurements were made on the MMG's, anyway, so despite their similarity to the 1.6's I don't think you'd necessarily get the same tipped-up (then rolled off above 15k) highs.

As you imply, you really have to try them every which way, to see what works best in your room.

Hotmailjbc,

Interesting, I think I'll give it a try and see what happens.
