Original MG10 exhibit absolutely astounding holographic line-source sound at life-size imaging (sounds like a single driver), but has no/zero/nada/zip/zilch bass. It's exhibit_A on how dipolar panel loudspeaker width/baffle is required to produce bass under real-world conditions. While other Maggies reproduce bass below resonance, these gems don't/won't. Even in an anechoic chamber (where room wall reflections approach irrelevant), bass energy they do produce (audible at extreme nearfield listening) is so well dispersed that much emanating aft (inverse phase to that propagating forward) bends around the slim panel (like how small monopolar subwoofers act as omnipolars) to actually move toward the listener (even without wall reflections). This obviously interferes with bass energy emnimating forward & cancels it.
To review, bass energy (long wavelength & low frequency) disperses more than treble energy (short wavelength & high frequency), which leaves less intended to hear. Dispersion is a function of a driver's width verses the sonic wavelength it produces. Then, when dispersion gets huge, there's bass-cancellation (rear wall reflection only make this worse but that's far less relevant when comparing dipolars of similar baffle surface area to obstruct said echo).
