Looking for some opinions on drivers to match the MMGw to fill the lower frequencies. I have looked at the experiments by Thomas and others, but I am thinking more of a Martin Logan type setup using the RS180 or RS225 utilizing the Behringer x-over that Thomas used. I have found most of the Logans (and some other ESL's) to use an 8inch driver ported with a x-over between 225 and 400hz. I have read the critical midrange to be approximately 200-3khz and not to x-over in that range.
What I was thinking to do was to use the mmgw panel down to approximately 125-225hz and the dayton reference series driver down to an f3 of about 40hz with a slightly lower in room. The Behringer cx2310 would allow me to play with x-over fq's and slopes or the dcx2496 would allow many x-over designs fq's and slopes. I was thinking of using the RS180 in push-pull like the m&k speakers.
If this plays out I would consider using the Magnepan MC1 in the same setup and move the mmgw to the rear.
One thing to mention is that I do want the speakers close to the wall behind them.
Any thoughts or input (guidance), or other ideas would be most appreciated.
thanks
