Srajan, did you see this? With your dipole sub experience, this could be right up your alley. Brennan
I've seen it, thank you. It leaves many questions unanswered. 1/ what are all the acceptable/useful placement positions? 2/ what is the actual LF response of -3dB and relative to what SPL? What is the recommended crossover point? By running well into the upper midrange, what kind of filter is involved to insure against excess amplitude where that bandwidth overlays the main speaker? How is the low, mid and upper bass adjusted relative to each other as the presenter claims is possible? Incidentally, my sub is actually a Ripol so cardioid version of a standard figure-8 dipole. But, it's interesting that another manufacturer is working on a dipole bass solution. I would simply say that for the time I spent watching this video, I felt rather shortchanged on actual hard intel on the Magnepan product. In other words, a very 'soft' launch. Also, no mention was made of successful active speakers with cardioid DSP-adaptable bass à la Kii and Buchardt which already address the bass problems mentioned in fully integrated form to require no extra bass towers. Neither were PSI's active bass traps mentioned as further successful solutions to common bass issues. Again, it made the presentation quite generic. I wish the presenter had asked Magnepan's Wendell Diller a lot more very specific questions. Or perhaps he did and got no satisfactory answers? Srajan
