RE: Magnepan MG-1.7: casual impressions

Eh.. You are somewhat wrong there. hehehe
Apogee's have bass. And that i spades!
The bassmembrane is aluminium glued to Kaptone and suspended all around.
The high frequency is ribbon, yes

The bassmembrane is pretty light and fast.
The speakers I have (Apogee Duetta II) have bass down to 25Hz and what base then. hahaha

The difference between Magnepan and Apogee is that Apogee uses a tuning system that is by far better then Magnepan's where You don't need to restrict membrane movement with rivets to get certain resonance frequencies.
You get dynamics like nothing else. ;)

Weight of a membrane is not the single factor in reproducing bass. A lot of others are.
Sure adding weight will lowering resonance but then... it will NOT be as fast. hehehe
The one who succeeded was the one who didn't know it was impossible.
