  Yeah, all Maggies other than the 20.X type. :)

    I'm afraid I'm not following... :}
    
    "If you manufactured something that was symmetrical in motor structure, but had half the magnet (on either side) relative to an asymmetrical scheme with the (overall) same magnet, it would be very similar in operation."
    
    I interpreted "symmetrical" as meaning magnets on both sides ala the 20.x series.
    
    I can't say I've heard many opinions that the other Maggie's have more pleasing bass than the 20 series. Other than the 30's of course.

      My "if you....." was a hypothetical.

      All of the Magnepan models (other than 20.X series) have an asymmetrical motor structure because the magnets are physically on one side of the voice coils.
      Even with that, you could make the case the magnetic field is strong enough to alleviate much of that asymmetry during normal operation.
      But it's not 'fully' symmetrical, like the 20.X setup.

      Regards the subjective comparisons, it's not apples-to-apples because the 20.X speakers are much larger than other models.
