Lowthers midrange: how do they compare?
Sounds like you want a midrange not a full range or wide band those are best used fullrange or whats the point since better options exist if wanting to go multiway with crossover on mids. Full ranges are best run full or maybe with a bass system a... 
Soundstage and explosive dynamics?
Costs less than $10k. Sorry only horns can do Explosive dynamics with force and surprise. I know so many are sold on undersized cheap to build sell thin towers with far to small over worked wee mid range woofer combos installed in thin baffles req... 
Magnepan unshielded – should I be concerned?
I have 40lb TAD compression drivers fairly near my computer and have had no issues compared to the massive mag field in those  a maggi with it fridge door style mags shouldn't be a issue.

Advantages of beryllium?

Hoffman’s Iron Law of Speaker Building1) Bass Extension2) Efficiency3) Small EnclosureThe law is that you can only have two of these three attributes in a loudspeaker. If  small loudspeaker would have limited SPL and require massive  power too p...

Speaker Placement - When it's perfect!
Designed my audiorooms for such use when I designed my home so now it takes me about 30 mins or less to properly set up a loudspeaker to match room and system. Sure I may make slight changes but mostly since rooms designed for it its fast and easy... 
Advantages of beryllium?
kosst_amojan still waiting for you to point out a modern BE compression driver with better specs than TAD? But maybe all you had was a rude reply and ignorant comment.   And for the rest this maybe of interest http://www.audioxpress.com/article/Vo...

Advantages of beryllium?
