Hello Chairguy, Now that you have my MMG's on the right path!!! When are they going to be shipped to me???? Smile!!! If you know someone that wants to sell the MMG's and ship to mainland china. Please let them know that I am after a pair also. Yours really look great but was all the tinkering worth it??? Did you stands really increase the sound of the speaker to justify the investment?? Just had to ask because now you have me thinking!!! If I can ever get my hands on the MMG's, that is. By the way do you have an email address for Magnaplanar/Magnapans, it would help a great deal as phone communication from china to the states can be a killer at times. All the best.
You should look to mating them with W baffle dipole subs (linkwitz style). There are a number of threads around the internet that discuss this very thing, some on htguide.com/forum. I think Davey once did it and I know ThomasW is doing a variation on it as an inexpensive dipole system. You get the best of both worlds, being able to actually move some air with a dipole sub with the speed of the maggies and matching the power response much better between the two.
anxiously awaiting pics of the outboard xovers
I really do think folks buy too much Magnepan for their needs, by and large.....it doesn't take but a pretty small/cheap Maggie to fill and average sized room. And, when you change out all the sub-standard parts for beter and mount on sturdy stand, it's bass output down to strong 50Hz (or weak 40Hz) is pretty fantastic. You'll miss a bit of tympani and organ on some classical works...but you'll not miss thing if your tastes run more towards jazz and pop.
