In Reply to: Yes, the newer models use foil glued to the mylar instead of wires, called "quasi-ribbon". It's more reliable. posted by MWE on December 23, 2024 at 17:44:40:
Although, I don't think the term "quasi-ribbon" refers to foil conductors instead of wire conductors. I think it simply means that the diaphragm has conductors glued to it, instead of being a true ribbon. My Mini Maggies have wire glued onto the mylar diaphragms, yet Magnepan still refers to them as quasi-ribbon drivers. Only the tweeter is a true ribbon driver.
Nevertheless, I'm glad they switched from wire to foil, because not only is it probably more reliable, it probably has lower mass, too. I just hope it can still handle the current as well as wire. It would be nice if they used silver foil.
Thanks!
