I have a set of Tympani IIIA. They worked surprisingly well even in a small room, like 12.5 x 10 x 7 feet, although with a limited listening area. Also used them in a larger room, 20 x 13 x 8 feet. Mine were heavily converted many years ago. I disliked the vague imaging and removed the drivers from the flimsy baffles and placed them in a different frame, including cutting off the edge around the tweeter to have it as close as possible to the mid. The drivers were grouped in two speakers, bass+bass+mid+tweeter each side. Active crossover set at 100 Hz, 4th order (24 dB/octave). Now my IIIA is out of order, need new wiring and new Mylar for mids and tweeters. If I get time for it, I will re-wire the basses, have all the material for it.
Follow Ups:
Interesting. Have you had other Maggie models that had better imaging?
Yes. I have three sets of different Tympanis and a pair of MG 3.6 (used now). Best imaging from Tympanis IVa and MG 3.6. These have their mids and tweetets closer together and there is little directional information from their bass drivers. Tympani ID have directional information from all its drivers.
