Anyone familiar with the Manger driver?


Sounds like a new and innovative approach to a speaker design. The big question is, HOW DOES IT SOUND? Some interesting stuff on their website MANGER, but I'm curious to know the impressions of people who have actually heard one...I didn't make it to the CES this year.

GBM,

Your comment "doesn't have the fog" is a great description of the Manger speaker including the Zerobox 109. Watch for an upcoming rave review!!!

btw, tmh audio is the US importer. More info at http://www.tmhaudio.com

In my opinion,which I have held for sometime,is that every electrostatic and ribbon loudspeaker manufacturer should own a Manger in their listening setup.This will allow them to resist over playing the transparency card,which mars many a fine planar loudspeaker.
The problem with the Manger lies in the fact that it sounds bad at most times with most setups.It is a task to get them to shine,but when an experienced chap does get it right,few loudspeakers can beat the 103 in every aspect of reproduction, and those few cost at least 2.5 times upwards the price of a 103.
Thanks Spere for your comments - the Manger's are quite extraordinary.

I have found them revealing of what you feed them but have been pleasantly surprised the "little" Zerobox 109 with its' 8" Scan Speak woofer can sound simply superb with a Sony receiver driving it.

Of course, we are using a Metronome front-end (typically the CD3-Sig, T2i-Sig or the Kalista/C2A combo) which is the best digital I have ever heard...and I'm an analog guy.
question about manger
can you used a few for professionel audio p.a
what is the dispersion from the high frequenties
greetings jack cross
Jack--your question is a bit incomprehensible. IF I get the gist: Mangers in a p.a. application, I'd say forget it. You don't have the the spl capacity in the first place.
