Like so many things Maggie, the "difficulty" of sub integration is WAY overblown.
Agreed.
Magnepan, Best midrange?
Other than Horns of course.
A few days ago on another audio forum, someone mentioned *why don't you ck out Magnepan??**
I wrote back, seems magnepan is OOB.
He was a bit upset at my lack on reserach.
SEems Magnepan is still alive and well.
In fact there may bea back log for the LRS
Like months back order
Man , not sure why NO ONE here mentioned magnepan's???
Could this be the speaker I've been searching for some 20 years now??
Sure sensitivity is wayyy off my 92db sens limit.
@ a miserable 86db sens
However, conisdering the panel is 10x's the size of dual W18's + a 6.5 DavidLouis Full Range + a Seas Cresendo, all added up, still is less voicing surafce area vs a the Manepan.
I'll run the W18's as bass, If I need extended highs, I'll add a pair of Cresendos.
WOW and under
$1G
Alott less, like $650!!!!!!!
Good thing here is, I have a Defy7, power to spare for magnepan's demanding current draw.
Here is a YT vid showing how you can modify the magnepan,, I;'ve not watched it yet, will do so today.
This Hifi Guy is the best hifi geek on Youtube.
He knows his stuff and has experiemented in countless speaker designs.
He's da man.
I can 't wait to get my LRS.
And gets even better, Made in the USA,, UNREAL.
If the LRS performs as hoped.
I will make a long series of Youtube videos, putting this speaker on the map, promoting the Maggie as The Worlds Finest speaker.
Ck out all YT reviews of the Magnepan.
Every review gives 2 big thumbs up,
Try to that on any speaker on the market.

hartf36, it is and it is not. Subs are easy to integrate if you have the tools and know what you are doing. Otherwise, it is virtually impossible. For most a matter of luck more than anything. Most are not even trying. They are using a low pass filter only on the subs and not a two way crossover which is mandatory if you want to get it right. |
mijostyn, did you bother to read the article about the Aspen Acoustics speaker? The ribbon has an attenuator so that its output can be perfectly dialed in. The separate tower allows for both toe in and baffle slope adjustments as well as positioning relative to the main cabinet. Imo, your concerns about integration are addressed quite well in this design. In fact, the DLT (disproportionately large tweeter) allows for this hybrid to have characteristics that simply are not available to most hybrid ribbon speakers. Without even hearing the speaker, you have discounted it, but I'm not that surprised. I have conversed with enough designers, manufacturers, and hobbyists in this community to know that skepticism based on what they think is their default setting. However, when the speaker is before me, performing as well as ESL/dipole and dynamic speakers holistically, and better than them in a few parameters of performance, then the accepted wisdom doesn't mean much. :) |
