RE: Maggies Love Linaeum

Posted by Hoshi on November 2, 2009 at 06:57:17:
Kirk,

The impedance stated on the tweeter is 6 ohms. This has not been measured. According the a chart I used to calculate crossover frequency, a 2.0uf cap will result the 6 ohm tweeter to crossover at 13250hz at -3db. I am not an expert in this area but I don't think at this frequency, most amps will have an issue driving the load.

I believe one of the reasons why the Linaeum works so well with Magnepans is because sound radiates in a 360 degree pattern similar to what Maggies do. The stereo shop I visited has Linaeum's mounted on all Magnepan models from the 20.1 all the way down to a pair of MMG's. Before I made the commitment in purchasing a pair of Linaeum's, I had a pair of tweeters that I mounted in back of SMGa's and had them firing back with the mylar. This test actually gave me results that were better than anticipated.
