RE: the problem with Nagnepans ....

It depends upon how you define "dynamic." :)

Since Magnepan's are velocity sources and not pressure sources, they don't have the inherent physical capability of some other speakers.

I don't anymore, but I've listened to some home speakers that were literally gut-wrenching and ear-abusing. Not an enjoyable experience, but something not physically possible with Magnepan speakers.

Magnepan speakers are just like all speakers. They all have trade-offs.
They don't have boxy resonances....but they do have panel resonances, complicated radiation characteristics, low efficiency, and various other things that are checkmarks in the bad column.

Dave.
