i am currently in the final stages of planning my many winter projects ..
I need to know one thing before i continue on though ..
What do you guys think of the Manger transducers ?
I have always been interested into this "driver" and its technology .. have any of you listen to loudspeakers using this driver?
What was your impression ?
I always liked the idea of a 1 way 150hz + system
( i guess we all did .. no phase problems , point source easy )
Do you guys think that this driver is able to match the quality of the very best systems we are doing here ?
my $$$ is not unlimited for my room project ,
but i'd rather spend some money on special drivers
( if the performance is there .. ) than on cheaper
ones, having to result in using 100s of em, wihtout any advantages other than spl ...
I have to say that what i am looking for is low distortion, quality sound reproduction before SPL in my personal room
( wich is quite small beeing 10 by 16 approx )
what i was planning was something like :
W-Frame ( + personal mods to this design )
of either 2 18" ( prolly be McCauley 16hz one )
or 2 time 2 15" of similar capabilities
2 times : 6 to 9 woofers open baffle + some twits
( either ribbons or multiple high quality dome twits )
OR it could only be 2 or 4 Manger drivers
+ the same subs or similar ...
so that is why i need some more information on the manger
performance, since i find em interesting, but wanst' able to located any info at all on this site ..
thanks all

taken from a manger vendor site :
that graph is good in upper range freq .but not to awe inspiring in the sub 5K range nah ?
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

another thing ..
with this kind of setup (manger prolly on an OB )
i would require no complicated Xover
i could bring the system elsewhere and connect on their stuff without worrying too much of xover
cause if i go multiple route, i'd have to use my computer for Xo
wich is not quite as easy as it seems for now ..
