Hey Ricky, this is Michael (tomlinmgt) from AudioKarma....you've been helping me out with my MMG's over there. Thanks for chiming in here as well.
Yes, I understand the 1.6 aren't true ribbons...what I was saying is I'd have to go further up the chain than the 1.6 (to something with true ribbons such as 3-series, 2.5 or 6, 20.1, etc) to get a significant increase in performance over the MMG.
By framed and braced I mean what you see in the image below. I threw these together over the course of a few evenings with scrap lumber I had layin' around kind of as a prototype to address and, hopefully, correct a few issues I felt I had. One, I wanted to give them more rigidity than what the angle brackets I first used to stand them vertical could offer. Two, I had them sitting on top of the subs and I wanted to get them off as I felt there was a good chance the subs were vibrating the mylar and causing some distortion. Three, when on top of the subs they were about a foot-and-a-half off the ground and I wanted to get them a little lower. Four, Gunn says he prefers a little tiltback (the flashlight beaming in your eyes analogy) so I spiked the pillars so I could adjust in a little tiltback to see how this worked out for me. I'll set them back to vertical here in a few minutes and see if I can tell a difference. BTW, my initial statement that I have around fifteen degrees tiltback was way liberal...I went out and measured it and it's more like five to seven degrees.
