Mijostyn, great summary. One quibble, line sources fall of as 1/R, and point sources as 1/R^2. Also, the full length Maggie lines act more as line sources in the bass, though not perfectly because of the way the resonances are distributed (lowest frequency segments near the floor to take advantage of the reinforcement). But any planar woofer is going to react very differently in a small room than a large one because of proximity to side walls. The 30.7 solves this with separate bass panels that are tuned to be flat when positioned at the side walls. For smaller Maggies in a big room, they recommend reinforcing the midbass with the DWM.
BTW, I don't know of any speakers that equals the clarity of ESL's, but taken as a whole, the 30.7's are the most realistic speakers I've ever heard -- between the ribbon tweeter and the new high quality midrange, they have a stat-like clarity to them, whereas earlier Maggies lost some of their clarity as they got down to the midrange (but were still clearer than dynamics).
