What would happen if Maggie and Wilson Mated?

What speaker would they conceive if they mated and got a perfect mix of DNA from both sides?

From her (Maggie 20.1): it would have a Big, Open wide sound stage. Great midrange and highs and lifelike presence. Delicacy and manners...

From him (Wilson Maxx 3): It would have slam and dynamics when called upon. Authority, muscle and control.

Ultimately, the offspring would have the best qualities from both sides of the family and the coherence to blend the two.

What speaker would this be? Does it exsist today?

Closest I ever heard were the Apogee Studio Grands (RIP) powered by a pair of Krell 300S and a Audio Research tube preamp.

Stop mixing wrong matches! Another breed experimenter is mating a Shitzu with a Bulldog..... outcome: Bull-shit. Bad joke but should serve my point. Back to speakers

As a first approximation, you could buy two pairs of your favorite Wilsons and point one pair backwards, to give you a bipolar radiation pattern (dipole = too much bass cancellation for this application, so bipolar works better).

Duke, you are quite creative. Maybe I should audition your speakers some day. Yeah.

This speaker already exists and is known as Soundlab.
Before that is was Dunlavy.These 2 speakers do exactly as what the poster is looking for in my opinion.

Yeah, I am surprised that Soundlabs are not talked much about here. Good for those who want to get a used pair though.
