The woofers that were added to my MMGs are finally making a "constant contribution". I have just spent over 8+ hours listening to music with the woofers on this evening. The event is significant to me in that I have never ever been able to spend much time enjoying music with ANY planar speaker that has woofers or, much less, subwoofers. I mean, less than 1/2 hour, tops. OTOH, I can spend 14+ continuous hours listening with these MMGs alone and probably as much with 3.7s in the same manner. (My longest stretch with 3.7s was 3+ hours only because they were not at my home.) I am a bit giddy. It was dumb luck in great part and perseverance to some extent. I really thought that this would never happen. Even by using woofers in L/R stereo config, I simply hoped to get "close enough" to enjoy music for an hour or so, for that music which simply demands the lowest octave. What's not good? Plenty, once I get to nitpicking. All I have to do is forget that they cost almost nothing, yet no subwoofer tested in this room ever got close. How good is it so far? Full-sounding without loosing detail or textures, non-fatiguing and tunefully delightful. I can live with it on full time though it will likely be much less. I live in an apartment and my MMGs have plenty of native strong bass (which hardly crosses through the concrete walls despite how punchy it is). When neighbors go out, I'll switch on the woofer more often. I'll list the build elements in a few days. Not that this will always make it easy. Unfortunately, seemless bass with planars takes effort and a little luck in that room modes can be tamed in practical ways. I'll be delighted if this works for more people. |
