You shouldn't compare the efficiency of a planar and a conventional speaker unless you sit one meter(the standard distance to measure efficiency) away from the speakers. Beyond a meter planar speakers fall of at 3 dB every doubling of distance while conventional speakers fall off at 6 dB. So planars are effectively significantly more efficient at normal distances than their measurements tell you. By the way I'm not even a planar fan most of the time but that doesn't change the facts about loudness roll off with distance.
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.
