Anyone familiar with the Manger driver?

Doug,

Thanks for letting me know that we aren't nearly as far apart as I had thought. I have many questions (in the interest of learning rather than debating), but as you pointed out earlier this is a Manger thread.

To Fatparrot: Looks like I pretty much ended up hijacking your thread. My apologies; I'll bow out now.

I have listened to the Manger driver for approximately 2 hours/day for the last 7 years. I have also listened to a pair of ESL's extensively for the past year. To my mind the ESL's beat the Mangers in most areas. Of course the drawbacks to the ESL's are low SPL in lower frequencies and maintenance requirements and longetivity. However, for higher output the Mangers are excellent drivers if configured appropriately. But beware, this thread contains an disproportionate amount BS. I suggest you spend the money, buy the Manger and build yourself something. This will tell you a lot more than this useless thread can do.

Hi,

I have been a Manger Zerobox 103 from quite some time now, all I can say about this speaker is WOW!!! have been in this hobby from the past 3.5Years with 4 Speaker changes but this one is Special.

They have a tone that is unmatched resolves quick with every detail in the recording its a speaker that does very little to the music a pleasure to listen to eveytime.

I have it hooked up with a tube amp a very unique one in the way its made, its a Hybrid 4 845 in Parallel Single Ended mode 50-Watts Class A and 200 Watts Class AB. Cadence Canasya 845.

The most interesting manger I have yet seen is called the Accupulse.
