RE: Adding a tweeter to MMG

Aceinc, I am happy that you got the B&W's you wanted...and no tar and feathers treatment, LOL. I've always found the company's speakers to be worth every penny, if one wants good boxes. If I had to have boxes, I would go for them. In fact, it is what I ask friends to look into when they ask. Which is also how I get to enjoy the B&W's often (when I visit them :).

If you get a planar system put together, it will have a different character, as you already know. That said, good B&W setups can throw a VERY wide sound stage. They are less adept at making it deep or provide 3D imaging, but the right power amps can help. Now, most of their speakers deliver some very realistic instrumental and voice textures rather easily, almost regardless of placement. Many planars may do as good, and often even better on this count...but their surroundings will need attention first.

Anyway, I'll be at the local dealer's place on Saturday. I've scheduled demo time mainly with the 3.7i. This time they will be in a smaller room, which may satisfy my curiosity about something.

I also asked for some time with the .7 model, though no special setup will be made. If you let me know a few of the music pieces you tried them with, I'll see if I find them here. Then, I'll take the .7 & 3.7i to task with them. I have no idea where my copy of the Sheffield Drum/Track test CD went. I am sure I'll find it...likely borrowed by someone.
