RE: Here you go

Definitely not a marketing gimmick -- they conducted a blind AB test with a listening panel before Mark Winey agreed to add it to the 1.7.

As I see it, the MMG's tweeter is too wide for optimal dispersion and power response -- it beams and there are side lobes. Also, the super tweeter segment has lower mass than the entire tweeter.

The question for me is whether the better power response and higher output of a floor-ceiling MMG provides more sonic benefits than the quasi ribbons, supertweeter, and heavier frame. There are other differences as well, e.g., the .7 and 1.7 have more bass extension. But on the other hand, with the shorter models the sound seems to be coming from too low -- I'd expect stacked MMG's to have better imaging, just as MMG's do when you raise them up and orient them vertically (losing bass in the process).
