New Magneplanar Bass Panel DWM

Harri, absolutely. I wasn't suggesting otherwise, just pointing out that they can be hidden behind furniture (per Magnepan). They can even be inside it. But they do have to be located on the speaker arc, 12" closer.

I want to hook 2 bass panels to nice studio book shelf speakers.    Worth a try  ?  Bad idea ? I know there not subs.   But should go lower.  Yes?

I had one with my 3.7i's.  Do not expect them to sound anything close to a sub because they don't.

twoch---Lower, no. The DWM doesn’t play lower than the MG3.7, or even the 1.7. But it does provide more output above the frequency at which Maggies start rolling off---40-45Hz. It’s NOT a sub, it’s a bass driver.

I live in a small house with a small listening area sectioned off the circular shape of the floor in my round house. I recently connected Magnepan 0.7s to my system. The room is not big enough for larger speakers, even if I could afford them. According to the A weighted sound pressure meter at the listening position, the reading I looked up for the difference between 1 kHz and 100 kHz on a test CD was right withing a fraction of a decibel. Since the DWM works between 40 and 200 Hz, this seems to mean I would not benefit from adding a DWM. Below the 45 Hz I have a pair of subwoofers. In a bigger room I might need the bass panel, but for now, the 0.7s sound so clear and transparent I don't think I want to change anything.
