FEATURED » Magnepan - MG 1.7 Speaker
Introducing the NEW Magnepan MG-1.7! After a 12-year history, reaching a near-iconic standing, the Magneplanar 1.6 has been improved thru tried and true Magnepan value engineering. The 1.7 is a departure from Magnepan's 41-year history of using planar magnetic drivers for the bass or lower midrange. The use of quasi ribbon technology down into the lower midrange and bass will provide a new level of coherence No costly tweaks of questionable sonic value. Magnepan is all about better ideas which give high-value sonic improvements that can be verified in blind-fold testing.
A new, modern styling with wrap-around aluminum trim on the 1.7 is also a departure from Magnepan's more conservative cosmetic styling. The total design concept for the Magneplanar 1.7 results in a speaker that measures exceptionally well by all the standard criteria, but more importantly, sounds even better. The 1.7 is handcrafted in the USA and made with virtually all American-made parts.
"Not just The Absolute Sound's Affordable Loudspeaker of the Year, the 1.7 is the affordable loudspeaker of the decade"
