Wings not fins...

24.82.79.173

Posted by Scott 2.6/R on October 27, 2006 at 09:39:39

have tried Maggie wings for last 2 days are they siimply are amazing at improving the bass.
Made from 1/2" baltic birch plywood they extend the baffle of the 2.6s sideways.
The archives here are a bit confusing in that some have made wings and have them positioned at 90 degrees to the speaker which doesn't make sense to me as the theory is to block some of the backwave from cancelling bass coming from front plane of speaker.
Anyway this is a very cheap tweak with very apparent results and no downsides because you can remove the wings easily after listening and put them away.
The ones I made are 12" wide at the bottom
50" tall and cut into a triangle.
I will experiment with larger ones later but am VERY happy with the bass in my room from this addition.
