RE: Why More Power?

My investigations of various Magneplanar bass drivers surprised me. They are almost equally limited in the capability of excursions, even the Tympani IVa. 150-200 W on each driver results in the Mylar hitting the magnets if low frequencies are present that hits the tuning frequencies of the eriver. This will not happen with most "conventional" music but higher SPL can sound a bit compressed. The Tympanis have a similar efficiency to the 3-series. The Tympani bass drivers use thinner wires (half the mass) and lose 3 dB but as the number of drivers is double, the result is -3 +3 = 0 dB.
