I am not aware of what agony goes into making mylar, but I was not thinking of "imbedding", which implies making the mylar with the wire in it. I was talking of pressing 2 made sheets together with the coil between them.

Or is this not possible? Is mylar one of those things that cannot be made to adhere to anything, even itself, after it is made?

OK, what about this. What if you had 2 sheets firmly held in the speaker frame, the coils laid between them, and all 4 sides have been "sealed" (like by a bag sealer method if possibe, so it is now like a plastic bag) except for a miniscule pinhole attached to a compressor that is used to suck the air out. This causes the mylar to go drum tight on the coils (and itself), and then the pinhole is sealed.

Of course if it ever got punctured, game over.

Well, it's all talk at this juncture anyway, but I'll let magnepan slide on this issue then :^ ) But they still ought to replace the 3m77 with something else.


It's all about the music...
