Re: PA Recommendations

...MMGs for a house PA? I do a good bit of live engineering, and that seems like a very bizarre choice to me. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE magnepans; I have a pair of SMGa's (the predecessor to the MMG) at home for my hi-fi. But among other things they're VERY delicate (particularly the real ribbons, though that's only on the higher end models), very inefficient, etc etc etc...

But, above all else, what about the fact that they're dipoles? Your blasting equal energy on stage as you are out front (albeit inverse phase). That's never been a problem for you?

Anybody else out there using planar (magnetic, esl, etc) speakers for pro reinforcement? Magnepans certainly do excel with acoustic music in a home system, so I'm very curious to see what other peoples' experiences have been using these in a live environment.
