RE: best recording to show off Maggie lightning fast bass ?

Posted by Davey on November 11, 2021 at 10:10:23:
It's a misconception that Magnepans have powerful motor structures with high "speed", low resonances, low stored energy, etc, etc. Relative to many conventional speakers, they pale in comparison, in those aspects.

Now, that's not to say they don't bring other assets to the table. Speaker transducers are all about trade-off's.

That said, if you want to feel some lightning fast bass that will literally shake your guts during the experience, there are other speakers (that are not Maggie/planars) that will do it much better.

Dave.
