I found that it made for a lot more top end on my Maggies, but since the
speaker had no low-pass network on it (and it dropped off only at 16 KC),
setting it to 13 KC still produced a high frequency bump that was audible.
So I don't know what it would do on a system designed for it.

It does make ya wonder, though. A true ribbon (does this include
your Maggies?) is mass limited on the top end, and so will fall
off at only 6dB per octave above the mass limit frequency.

Len's 40 kHz is only an octave and a half or so higher than the
16 kHz (nominal). Does this mean that he could use a late-
generation Maggie for his project? Or does it just mean that
the map is not the world?
