In Reply to: MG-2.5R's comming back on line! posted by RickeyM on January 25, 2015 at 08:20:49:
Thinking back a few years ago, I remember seeing some posts where people with certain Maggie ribbon tweeter models (like the 2.5R) were mounting the ribbon tweeters on separate panels, placed next to the woofer panels. This was to isolate the ribbons from vibrations and allowed the ribbons to be aimed at the listener independently of the woofer. This seems especially useful in a smaller room.
First crazy idea of the winter. Carefully cut the speaker between the woofer & tweeter then join the panels with a hinge. This wouldn't do anything for isolation but it should help the imaging and soundstage in a small room.
Any thoughts?
Which ever way this works out, I'll know whether to make my ( coming this Spring I swear ) hardwood frames one or two piece units.
