In Reply to: Magneplanar Bass Also Distorts At High Levels... posted by Doug Schroeder on January 11, 2012 at 12:18:27:
While you are correct that the maggies distort on high level bass, that is just as true for the LFT 8.
There is the point that among value planar speakers, the LFT8 is the current version of a $2k speaker, while the 3a is an old version of a $5k speaker. Do you really think there is a benefit to going to the smaller speaker vs updating the 3a he has with decent modern XO parts?
The bass of the 3.x models is far better than that of the 1.6, and their ribbons outperform the LFT 8. The main drawback on some of the 3.x models is a bit of incoherence between the ribbon and midrange. It is more significant to some than to others.
As Davy has found out it is not inherent to the speaker design, but a byproduct of the XO alignment. Going 1st order for the mid/tweeter XO really resolves this.
