RE: Magnepan color recommendation

4 Ohms is supposed to be an average, not the exact value across the entire frequency range.

While I certainly cannot say that every Magnepan product is like the ones Stereophile tested, the "exact" values seem to not delve into the electrostatic top octave realm.

MG 1.6

MG 3.6

As for me, I find them pretty darn linear in their impedance profile. Apparently, Wendell pulled the plug on reviews afterwards since even JA concedes:

"As I have written before in these pages, measuring physically large speakers with in-room quasi-anechoic techniques is in some ways a fruitless task. The usual assumption, that the measuring microphone is very much farther away than the largest dimension of the speaker being measured, is clearly wrong. "
