Um, please do not *ever* confuse a M-L 'stat panel with a Maggie. Much
though I loved my Maggies, the M-L midrange is simply in another class
entirely. The new M-L is absolutely *nothing* like a MMG with a sub.

Um - re-read the specs on it again. It is a planar/ribbon midrange
and tweeter and NOT an electrostatic design. This is a major departure
from their electrostatic designs and if you look at the technology
behind the new drivers(half an hour with their rep explaining the
technology in detail in my case), it is basically a Magnepan type
planar driver, but they use a push/pull design instead of the
Magnepan's pull only design.

It sounds better - like a second/new generation planar driver.
Much faster and cleaner than the Magnepan tweeters.

No - it's no electrostatic, but it does sound better than the
Magnepans. Kind of inbetween - and priced fairly well, IMO.

Oh - the impedance is 5 ohms - easier to drive than the
Magnepans. More goodness. Oh - it's also very kid-proof
compared to even a MMG.

Their new Subwoofer seems like it is going to also cause some
waves. $995 MSRP(figure $900-950 or so street price) makes
it the least expensive servo-sub out there at a few hundred
less than Velodyne's models. It should give the HSU competition
as well, with a 250W output(350W peak).

They put the info on it up a day or two ago on the corporate
site, so it's easier to find.
