What would happen if Maggie and Wilson Mated?

In a nutshell designers have been struggling with this for years. ATC are recognized for combining BOTH dynamic range and high performance. I agree Wilson or Maggies don't do both.

See article

In particular "The idea for the soft dome goes back to my days as a young engineer and student trying to find a solution to the problem of combining high performance and large dynamic range. At the time, Britain was well known for producing loudspeakers of excellent acoustic performance but with limited dynamic range (Quad ESL63, Rogers LS3-5A etc.) and the US for loudspeakers that would play very loud but at the expense of acoustic performance"

Magnepan would start aggressively raising their prices, begin touting the quality of the wood trim's paint finish and start naming their products "Monique", "Alektra" or "Elisha". Wilson would just continue to make money.

"That's scary."
That's funny.:-)
Actualy, it's more scary.:-0

Hmmm....the problem with this type of event is always naming the outcome. It seems to end up with something silly like Labordoodle, Goldendoodle or.....Cockapoo (seriously?). The other day a woman stopped me on the street while I was walking my dog and asked me if he was a Giant Schnoodle. That is a true story. He is not, by the way. But anyways....back to the original pairing....it's funny that you ask that question. I always describe the sound of Maxx (2 in my case prior to my current speakers) as planar like. Set up properly, I think the Maxx sound exactly like electrostatic's and other planar style speakers in that the project a total wall of sound that can be extremely intimate, detailed, fast and immediate. Conversely, the Wp sound more like minimonitors...laser precision and totally disappear etc.

I guess the thing that strikes me is that they are more similar than would appear and if anything, the Maggies would just be missing some dynamics and scale accuracy.

Conceptus Incompletus - hopefully.
