The MMGs sounded brighter/clearer, while the SMGa sounded more warm and fuller. The serial crossovers are difficult to get right (critical on driver matching) but works very well with the SMGa. The crossover on the SMGa was a 1st order serial, not a typical parallel. $140 is a great price as long as the mylar is not torn. As far as a Tweeter rewire, I just used Rat Shack Magnet wire (36 guage?) instead on Aluminum. You get a little buzz from the taped section. I have had to scotch tape sections of torn mylar, and result was never perfect. The only thing that can be a major problem is a torn mylar. Using Weldwood, they will never de laminate again. Just use a little bit of FRESH can of DAP Weldwood to glue them back down. Google "SMGa rewire Peter Gunn" and you will find the best site. Plenty of internet sites to show you how to do it.
I have rewired many SMGa and it is not difficult. I love thes maggies, but they need some serious power.Īs mentioned earlier, run your fingers up toward the inner top of frames - it is here that the wires tend to de laminate. I have had SMGa, MMG, MMG-W, and currently have the MGIIIa. Amps that worked are my Douglas Self-based Load Invariant amp and another DIYer's Leach amp. Some amplifier short-circuit protection circuits have a habit of tripping when driving them. The owner of said Maggies is currently searching for amplifiers that can drive them without fuss. They are apparently relatively easy to service (compared to a conventional driver). I don't know what the going price is for these Maggies, but I would jump at the opportunity. We heard the Maggies last it was just like dessert after a gourmet meal. To put things into context: we had been listening to a comparison between a pair of Thors and Small Thors (which are actually larger than the Thors!). It is what I would call a very romantic sound (not the most accurate, but very much enjoyable). Third: the sound was effortless and was presented as a cohesive whole it was also very detailed. It is quite an experience to hear a wall of sound coming at you.
Firstly, there was a lot more bass than I was expecting from a planar speaker. I had the opportunity to hear a pair recently.
