are those plasma speakers?
Maggie’s are not electrostatic, except the tweeter on some models.Planer speakers work to the extent the low frequency waves are short enough for the back wave to not wrap around the side of the flat panel and cancel out the front wave. I had some MG-2’s many years ago, and what base they had when properly placed was quick and good, but fell off a cliff below 50htz or so. My Linn Kans (very small sealed enclosure bookshelf speakers similar to Rogers LS-3/5a) have more audible bass than the Maggie’s. They’re much more musical too.
This thread has drifted so far, someone keep an eye out for Wilson.
….But OK. I think we can agree that we won't try putting a planar magnetic speaker in an N-scale diesel . . . John C.
I can change the subject to classic cassette decks, like the Nakamichi ZX-7 and ZX-9 vs. the Dragon or the Revox B215;
Wow, I haven't seen names like Nakamichi or Revox, and "cassette decks" since my subscription to Stereo Review lapsed in the early '90s. I only own couple of Akai cassette decks with GX ferrite heads, Dolby B/C and dbx. They were pretty decent back in the day (without costing an arm and a leg). But they all need new rubber belts now. I haven't listened to a cassette tape for some time now.
https://www.wilsonaudio.com/A set of their WAMM Master Chronosonic speakers will set you back close to $800K.Then you'll need a pair of D'Agostino Relentless mono amps (for another $250K) to drive them.https://www.dandagostino.com/products/relentless-monoblock.php
