transducer strengths and weaknesses

Certain sounds the magnepan does very well. Such as during movie scenes when there is a knock on a door. Makes me check the door sometimes. Dog or cat meows. Vehicle exhaust pulses. Gunfire.

However, one thing I notice the magnepan does poorly is explosive effects, such as the rustling sound of a slow-motion fireball.

Cone speakers are "safe", they tend to present sounds as intended. Anything off the beaten path runs the risk of certain sounds not sounding quite right, although having other sounds improved.

The AA does some things well, but troublehsooting it does not do well. Maybe 1 post out of 10 is helpful, the rest of the advice has you on a wild goose chase.

Sometimes you just have to blame the speaker.

Sometimes it does not make sense to build an expensive supporting environment around an inexpensive speaker, but rather find a speaker that suits the current environment.
