RE: Heard a reference level planar speaker last Saturday

"Well, I don't know about stature, but I do agree with you about room placement. :-)

I've seen various measurements of various Apogees and typically they show a high Q resonance at the bottom of their range. In that, it's no different than say the 3.x measurements that show a resonance higher up. You can't say exactly how the resonance is going to play in a given room but you can see, after seeing multiple measurements, that it's present.

I should add that it wasn't the measurements that led me to mention one-note bass, but what I've heard from people in a position to know. I'm in the frustrating position here of having a technical explanation that I was asked not to pass on. So all I can do is point to various measurements, and what Roger and Mmlrot1 said. "

I am not really sure of what technical design "flaw" that would be.
But if You take an equally bass mastering speaker like the Tympani, it too will have a significant boost at around 40Hz.
That too would be lowered in a bigger room.
That is why I take some of the measurements with a grain of salt. (Swedish expression).

As for this forum, I too feel it's sometimes are prone to bashing any other speaker apart from Magnepan's speakers.
I don't know why that is. But it gives a weird taste in my mouth.
So when a person are absolutely thrilled by a listening session with an Apogee speaker, he are in for a big resistance.
Sad but true.

I too have asked if this is a Magnepan forum before.
Maybe just a very dense Magneplanar population...


The one who succeeded was the one who didn't know it was impossible.
