New Magneplanar Bass Panel DWM


Just saw magnepan has a new bass panel out. Looks like it could be interesting.

I have heard conflicting stories as to whether the DW-1 "end table" version is actually going to be offered. I know it has been out there in demo form but even info from Magnepan has cast some doubt on it. It would be a shame if not, since it really does have a great WAF.

BTW: Has anyone actually tried one or maybe two DMW's in your home systems with a 3.7's or larger? I have heard they are good with MMG's etc to add bass but considering their relatiave small sq footage relataive to the bass panel areas of a 3.7 or 20.7 I am curious as to how much additional bass they can add.
These, as the website shows I think, were originally designed to be part of the mini desktop system and to agument the MMG panels. Considering their rather small square foot surface area has anyone had personal experience using one (or two) to add more punch to the larger 3.6/3.7 or 20.1/20.7's? Are they large enough to be significant. I wish they made a full size stand alone bass panel you could buy like the old Tympanis had. They would probably not have much WAF however.
I spoke with Magnepan sales dept yesterday and they informed me that they ARE NOT making the DW-1 and you therefore can not order one. Just to clarify my post above.
