RE: Harsh vocals in Magnepan 3.7i

Magnepan solved the delam problem with the new adhesive, so it isn't an issue except for those of us with older Maggies. I've asked Wendell about etching and vapor deposition with Wendell. They actually built a facility in the factory to do it, but they found that it was too difficult to make production changes, so stuck with hand application.

In general, manufacturers of larger planars seem to prefer adhesive, while small planars like the BG's use vapor deposition or etching because the adhesive melts when thermally stressed. The disadvantage of adhesive is the added mass, but the adhesive does help to damp the diaphragm . . .
