Different. The MGIIa was the first (IMHO) 'breakthrough' Magnepan - the speaker that really brought planars to the masses. It was the first maggie with reasonable efficiency and enough frequency extension (top and bottom) so that those areas weren't obviously a problem.But it's pretty dated compared to modern maggies. Not much hi-end, not much bass, not as fast, etc.
not true, real ribbon, smooth as glass, bass is the issue, but no worse thjan mmg, run them with a modest subwoofer and you would be suprised. i havent owned a pair since the early 80's but good sound doesnt go away, it just gets improved on.
Sorry. Not a ribbon. Planar magnetic tweeter.
