1: Planar Speaker Asylum, RE: would you buy Maggies if they were made in China ? (0.00)
Posted by gracky on 2023-07-24, 08:36:26 (182.229.234.80)
If they were made in China, I'd expect they contain neodymium magnets, foil air coil inductors and better polypropylene caps at similar to present prices. .......

The tweeter of mini is a very short true ribbon. I think the 85u is blocking DC and the 1 ohm resistor keeps minimum resistance unless it becomes almost short. Well, in my case amps before the panel a .......

I'm biamping with First Watt B4 active crossover. I believe DWM's XO can be bypassed without opening it. I had uploaded a picture of its backplate, but the picture looks like to be deleted. ::: TOPIC: .......

Sorry, I mistook 0.4 ohm for 0.04 ohm, anyway DCR is below 0.1 ohm so a simple multimeter is not precise enough but error here is expected to be below 0.1 ohm conservatively, less than 0.05 in fact. R .......

Perhaps, I used CFC14 of which DC resistance is supposedly similar to the iron core inductor. I looked for the datasheet of iron core inductors (too low to measure with a simple multimeter) looking si .......

It was what I wanted to do since I've seen inside of the minis. It took quite a while but recently I had some time to do it at last. The improvement was almost predictable considering the original .......

Posted by gracky on 2019-11-13, 20:39:50 (112.217.105.42)
Digital crossover to implement phase coherency with "planar" high frequency channel could be patentable depending on the details. But might it be better to keep it secret if the algorithm/calibration .......

It looks like that its size is similar to 3.7 except the width is halved. So probably the difference would be in the bass. Maybe two narrower bass panels in row front to rear in phase in effect amplif .......

To balance Minis and DWMs with their build in xo, putting DWMs under a desk is optimal and it should be what Magnepan intended. At my former place, it was very nice because the desk was in the middle .......

This is a picture of my in-room setup of mini maggies with 2 dwms. Distance between satellites and to each satellite from head is about 7' (equilateral). Room width is about 11.8ft (360cm). More de .......

It's not easy to experience imaging like audio systems at a concert, but not impossible IMO. I was at an orchestral concert in a moderately sized shoebox style hall (1300 seats) and my seat was exactl .......

Posted by gracky on 2017-09-13, 02:50:26 (211.36.137.209)
The internal xo in the dwm is a series xo that is similar to the ones of .7 series. So you can't passive bi-amp the mini with the original xo. By-amping with an active xo and 2 stereo amps is possible .......

Like the picture, 2 voice coils in series bypassing the internal xo I suppose. I've not un-soxed the dwms but looking at closely some available pictures of dwms and proving the terminals with a mul .......

Why not 3.7? The room is too small for 3.7, with width of only 11' 9". My former room was yet smaller (and big Maggies are hard to import to this country :( ). In some situation, bi-amping can be the .......

I'm bi-amping a mini maggie system (with a pair of DWMs for the in-room-configuration) with a Ayre V-5xe and a pair of Calyx mono 500 (ice module based class D, 500w/8ohm) and First Watt B4 active cro .......
