RE: What about the push-pull magnets in the 20 series Maggies? NT

Posted by Davey on November 13, 2021 at 18:42:37:
My "if you....." was a hypothetical.
All of the Magnepan models (other than 20.X series) have an asymmetrical motor structure because the magnets are physically on one side of the voice coils.
Even with that, you could make the case the magnetic field is strong enough to alleviate much of that asymmetry during normal operation.
But it's not 'fully' symmetrical, like the 20.X setup.
Regards the subjective comparisons, it's not apples-to-apples because the 20.X speakers are much larger than other models.
