3. Discussion and conclusions
Complexes were used probably as generators of high frequency acoustic waves. Purposes were (maybe) to arrange communication channel among various islands, with intense sound to stun assembled people, discourage, or even deafen potential enemies floating to Malta islands...Some legends [5] says about sirens (acoustically) tempting or deafening seafarers.
Sirens were persons (probably the best singers with strongest voices are very obsolete, thick women, and of such ladies are many statues everywhere on Malta and also in examined complexes) standing on pedestals in the middle of complexes. Their singing modulated low frequency signals, which were generated on opposite ends of temples (in windows and in doors) simply with bell, or with vibrating metal plates, or even was used stronger air draught.
Field of signal formed from groups of air particles (molecules) was before output amplified in second parallel opposite oval spaces of temple (analogue with resonator 2 of klystron).
Massive blocks used to construction of complexes (surrounded by, imbed to ground or to stone stuff) were very good resonant material, what also supports presented theory.
At reconstruction experiment should be buildings covered (now are without ceilings), only after it is possible to arrange it.
Possible is also to prove functionality of megalithic complexes on models from concrete, or from stone in suitable scale. For testing will be used acoustical or ultrasound frequencies in range, where wavelengths are diminished also in this scale.
Plan of the temple of Hagar Qim resemble on another type of electromagnetic high frequency generator, on magnetron
used commercially in microwave ovens.

Hagar Qim, with analogy on subwoofer opening.
Typical decoration ornaments for temple complexes on Malta are spirals connected on outer ends together. This is symbolism for wakes, or acoustical fields, which pass from one resonator to next resonator.
There are input and output points (stumps) on spiral's arms. These stumps represent openings, through air (draught) goes in, or out from temples. This could be very nice ancient sign for this type (here described) of acoustical amplifiers. Similar signs are also on other megalithic temple in New Grange in Ireland.
