Maggies and bass

[BillK]

I had Apogee Caliper Signatures for a little over twenty years so I'm well aware of the way planar bass compares to dynamic driver bass.

My local Magnepan dealers always had their Maggies coupled to subwoofers, and if you shut the sub off there was just nothing there. I checked to make sure they weren't using a high pass filter for the Maggies, but no. At both dealers these were 3.7s pulled away from the wall in their listening room about 4 feet.

I haven't found a dealer willing to display 20.7s yet, so I can't speak to them.
