RE: Magnepan DWM - Power handling

Is the noise associated with very low frequencies, like lower than 40Hz? I have found that the DWM and even my 3.7 will rattle .... diaphragm slapping the magnet plate ... at very low frequencies. I use two DWMs with my 3.7s and run them with a separate 500W/ch Hypex amp. But I high pass them at 60Hz.

If the problem is the diaphragm hitting the magnet plate, it's possible that it can be fixed by "hooking". It's a method of using a metal hook to grab the magnet plate and pull it away from the diaphragm allowing more clearance.

Talk to Mick at Magnepan ... or Michael Hoatson at The Listening Room.
