Re: MMG distortion

MMG's amd all less that MG20 models have various degrees of non linear distortion. this is because the magnetic field is comparitavely non-linear compaired to a coil driver - But on the other side - low cost Dayton RS drivers ( and all cone speakers - will have a cone breakup modes that produces linear and non-linear distortion products. The planar diaphrams do not have the modal breakup charateristics.

You can think of the MMG as a nice SET amp, limit output levels and distorts at higher levels but sound good when it does. A dynamic cone driver forces you to listen to its linear and nonlinear components - as well at the cabinet's linear and nonlinear distortions - A bad 70's rice amp at best - ok, I exagerate a bit with the last...
