Home Planar Speaker Asylum

Welcome! Need support, you got it. Or share your ideas and experiences.

Sure, I understand that the inductors in a passive crossover ...

will have inductance and therefore generate back-EMF but what about Maggies driven actively?

Am I correct in assuming they would generate little back-EMF due to:
* the almost purely resistive nature of the Maggie drivers, and
* the absence of inductors?

I'm also interested in your opinion of the following ... a dealer friend of mine who also developed a successful line of speakers here in Oz - so one would have to assume he knows something about speakers!! :-)) - claims that attaching a 4' length of speaker cable to the '+ve' binding post on a speaker helps absorb back-EMF?

I've never been able to understand why this might be so, given this 4' length of cable simply lies there on the floor with nothing connected to the other end ... can you see any logic in his claim?

Regards,

Andy
