New Magneplanar Bass Panel DWM


Just saw magnepan has a new bass panel out. Looks like it could be interesting.

Yep, heard them at THE SHOW out in Vegas in January. They converted me back over to a Magnepan enthusiast. They had two of them with a pair of 3.7 speakers. It was the best bass of any of the speakers at the CES show....even better than the 265K mbl Extreme speakers. Demo material was great with orchestral drum whallops, pipe organs, drums, electric bass material. Very high WAF as they can be used as end tables on each side of a couch. Highly recommended, and affordable, unlike 90% of all the other speakers at both shows.
I gather they were quite a hit. Magnepan says they've had a flood of orders since the show.
I have heard conflicting stories as to whether the DW-1 "end table" version is actually going to be offered. I know it has been out there in demo form but even info from Magnepan has cast some doubt on it. It would be a shame if not, since it really does have a great WAF.

BTW: Has anyone actually tried one or maybe two DMW's in your home systems with a 3.7's or larger? I have heard they are good with MMG's etc to add bass but considering their relatiave small sq footage relataive to the bass panel areas of a 3.7 or 20.7 I am curious as to how much additional bass they can add.
These, as the website shows I think, were originally designed to be part of the mini desktop system and to agument the MMG panels. Considering their rather small square foot surface area has anyone had personal experience using one (or two) to add more punch to the larger 3.6/3.7 or 20.1/20.7's? Are they large enough to be significant. I wish they made a full size stand alone bass panel you could buy like the old Tympanis had. They would probably not have much WAF however.
