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.
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.
