I was one of the first people to assemble the Maggie kits (rolled up) for a customer of Duratone and have admired them and Apogees ribbons - for me the only dipoles I'd want to own would be:i) ELS's doubled / room-loaded / assisted by subs - to do bass and play loud, and with their frame's 'nailed' so 'they dinnae move.'
ii) Good rigid and dead OB's with 120 hz to well above 4 kHz covered by one main driver an efficient to HE (but a truly WR and uncoloured) dynamic driver (6.5 inch minimum and probably the Audax 17cm item).
IE not doing ELF or EHF.OB bass from a single long-throw 18" Eq'd and timed - possibly off a big PP or PPP valve amp with highish ELF Q down to 18 Hz as part of the design, CCS'd driver stage.
Treble via a wave-guide and ribbon suitably Eq'd and timed. Mids and EHF also valve powered, treble likely SE DHT or SE FET, for the mids two mono PP pure-A amps with CCS'd output and driver stages, LCLCLC PSU with commercial polyprops, and 'just enough' NFB.
It should sound like a point-source, and have clean dipole bass.
See the thread ref'd below at Speakers.
