RE: I want fast decay on bass transients - yea yea

Posted by Green Lantern on November 13, 2021 at 16:42:00:
upright bass on Magnepans are a thing of wonder. I learned this when I had my 1.6's.
Most recordings of acoustic bass solos I've heard are always amazing: positioned dead center, seamless integration from top to bottom, finger plucks, fret vibration,etc.
With Maggies (and I assume the majority of other planars) you sense the notes are originating from the 'body' of the instrument itself, not simply being fired at you like traditional box speakers tend to do. And don't get me started on bowing on an upright...Just amazing.
