Mattmiller, a box speaker still needs to be a certain size to do that. Regardless of the electrinics you throw at them, the Magico Mini II is one speaker that was never able to vertically fill a soundstage. The smaller YG's fill more with more power, but they get maxed out height wise very quickly. I think room accounstics and treatment actually help more than the electronics, one you get to having enough power and no impedence mismatching (and don't forget phase - can't believe how many systems are out of phase).
Planars/ Electrostats benefits over box speakers?
I always been fascinated by Martin Logan and Magneplanar speakers. I have heard one or two models of both over the years. Would like to get some input from owners of "planar speakers" as what sound quality benefits do they offer over a floorstander, especially in the area of overall smoothness.
Are there any planar models of either company that have a small footprint and are not monolithic in height, but still sound very good???
