Pac-man Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Hi peoples, I have just acquired a set of MA Bronze B6 speakers in mint condition however I think I have an issue. Its a 2.5 way speaker system and the mid woofer moves alot more than the two bottom ones. This does not seem right as the bass drivers should be playing just as much bass as the mid or more. They are being played from a Kenwood Ka5500. Any help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brodricj Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 From what you describe I see no issue, particularly if the speakers sound normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wen Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 the bottom ones are passive radiaters, not woofers. i have RS6's, the bottom ones don't move as much as the mid basses, relax and enjoy the music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pac-man Posted May 23, 2021 Author Share Posted May 23, 2021 Hi Wen thanks for the reply. I have the Bronze 6 in another room and this is not the case on those and they have the same speaker config. Whilst I cannot find alot of info on the B6 I do not believe they are passive. I am not liking the sound from these and they are my 3rd pair of MA speakers as I have just replaced a set of B2’s in the same room and I prefer those.

genkifd Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 ive had my RS8 for about 14 years and my bottom 2 woofers move as expected. i dont think they are passive radiators. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afa Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 (edited) They are driven drivers, they are connected via the large value inductor as seen in the crossover, visible at the end of this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAlUZMry0CU Edited May 23, 2021 by afa Additional text Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont like the sound but it could be a number of issues. Will have a play around with them when I get a chance. I still don't see how this is normal considering the frequencies that are being delivered to the drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
