RE: The infamous Magnepan slap.

Well, regarding those arrows it's a bit funny as You have to keep it tight enough for them to not fall off/vibrate against the magnet plate and loose enough to not bend the magnet plate.
This balance is, in my opinion, impossible.
You have on one hand a magnet plate that is extremely thin and flexible and on the other hand vibrations from it that will bounce the arrow on it if it's not taught enough.
You will inevitably pushing the magnet plate towards the membrane unless the bow part is made of flexible rubber band. Not by very much but You will.(If the string is flexible, the use for it is none.)
This will in turn make a different sound as You will get higher output from that area of the speaker.
A quarter of a mm will render a noticeable audible difference.
If this difference is to Your suiting, then go for it but it will make the output ability less then before because if magnet slapping at an earlier point.
No problem for the one who is not playing that loud. :)
It is a tweak that will render a different sound, yes.

Regarding amps, I am pretty sure that the damping factor is not a general effect of higher power rating. ;)


The one who succeeded was the one who didn't know it was impossible.
