Home Planar Speaker Asylum

Welcome! Need support, you got it. Or share your ideas and experiences.

Your wooden constructions add resonances, unless

you are taking measures to damp them that you are not disclosing. You are advocating them by offering them for sale.

Many people like Magnepans because they are free of enclosure box resonance colorations. Some of these resonances are from the size and shape of the box, and some are from the wooden or other materials used. The more refined box speaker designs contain elaborate treatments to minimize the materials- and shape-related colorations. It seems wrong-headed to me to introduce similar resonances to Maggies in an effort to correct other deficiencies (panel rocking and crossover parts selection). This is just trading one set of problems for another.

The musical instrument analogy for speakers is so inapt that it is not even wrong. You can use your maggies for surf boards about as well as for musical instruments.

Your Repti-Sand crossover experience told you that you have serious upstream problems. Correcting them would make the resonance issues from your wooden constructions more obvious.
