Hola. Just a little two questions... You Summit's panel weights less than the air that it moves it. There is no mass at all. How a panel that has attached a silver wire to it, giving a lot of mass, is going to be faster? Your Summit has a coherence from less than 270Hz to top, there is no crossover...how can you integrate a crossover without any phase shift of the signal? With all respect, I think that your Summits are not working properly. I do know about the clarity of ribbon tweeters. Also, of course I do like Magneplanar. But the stage that if offers to my ears, is not what I usually get with ML. Yes, I know. Sound is a matter of liking, and what I do like, not necessary you have to like it. I had the Maggies previously, and the problem that I had, was that certain moments of the music playing, listening to the human voice, (usually female) at my golden seating position, I almost could feel her breath and smell it!...certain notes were too close to me...it was like a cartoon. Also had troubles with the string of the guitars. I could almost listen the pick plucking the guitar strings. Again, this was too close for me. I can listen the pick but there, with the musician(s) at the stage, not next to me. Some instruments were too big at certain notes. The flugelhorn, is one. Listening to the album "Martirio" (a Spain singer) in New York, here with this recording, you can listen what I am talking about. I have to say that the Summit X are not a perfect, but the stage presentation is one of the best that I ever listened. But again, it is my liking. I do believe that the most important thing is to enjoy what we have, as you are doing with your Maggies. Please excuse my dare to chimed in here with my liking and thoughts. Happy listening!
