Magnepan Directionality/Off Axis

@rodman99999 , absolutely correct. Set up correctly you would think it would be everyone's cup of tea. 

There are many ways of building a dipole speaker. Horizontal dispersion should never be a problem. Magnepan solved the problem by using a very narrow ribbon tweeter. Sound Labs did it by curving the loudspeaker. Because all dipoles send no sonic energy to the sides they greatly reduce unwanted room interactions that cause difficulty with all omnidirectional speakers. If the dipole is a full spectrum line source it will also not send any sonic energy up or down doing an even better job of reducing room interaction while creating a more life like sized image. 

I am admittedly coming "up to speed" with the placement dependence of this speakers- I moved them from tweeters on the inside to tweeters on the outside and separated them by an additional 18inches, it made a huge difference. How can such a small change (tweeters inside, tweeters outside) make such a big change?

thanks again for your help-

I was just going to say, move the tweeters outside. 

What about philharmonia towers or revel ultimata2?

any idea how they would compare to the transparency of Maggie’s?
