RE: Foil vs Wire: What difference does it make?

Comparing two generations of Magnepan where one has round wires and the other flat wires is not that easy. It is often more than the type of wires that separate them. Comparing the look of the naked 3.6 with the 3.7, you will find many details that are changed. The layout of the tiedowns is very different, the number of magnets is changed and we do not know much about the tension of the Mylar. Then we have the crossover which is very different between the two. It surprises me that people think the wiring/foil has little mass. For the bass section of most Magnepans it is about 40 gram, some Tympanis is about 20 gram.
