Certain sounds the magnepan does very well. Such as during movie scenes when there is a knock on a door. Makes me check the door sometimes. Dog or cat meows. Vehicle exhaust pulses. Gunfire.

However, one thing I notice the magnepan does poorly is explosive effects, such as the rustling sound of a slow-motion fireball.

Cone speakers are "safe", they tend to present sounds as intended. Anything off the beaten path runs the risk of certain sounds coming across as excellent, with e a few other sounds not sounding right.

The AA does some things well, but troublehsooting it does not do well. Maybe 1 post out of 10 is helpful, the rest of the advice has you on a wild goose chase.

Sometimes you just have to blame the speaker.
