Magnepan 2.7i Planar Magnetic Floorstanding Speakers; Pair

Magnepan 2.7i Planar Magnetic Floorstanding Speakers Product Description:

The Return of Magnepan’s “two” Series

Experience the revival of Magnepan’s renowned “two” series with the MG2.7i. This three-way speaker uses a combination of foil bass and midrange, with a 40” True Ribbon Tweeter. The perfect middle ground between the 1.7i and the 3.7i, the 2.7i strikes an impeccable balance in both performance and price. While the Mini Maggies cater to desktop needs, the MG2.7i stands as Magnepan’s most compact model, featuring a True Ribbon Tweeter, making it an ideal choice for smaller spaces or when the aspect ratio of larger models doesn't quite work.

Now available with the X Upgrade! 

• Click here to view the X version.

The general idea of the ‘X’ program is to take the existing design of a given speaker and simply, almost one-for-one, replace all of the components leading up to the driver with superior ones. This yields a noticeable, graphable, and awe-inspiring improvement. There are certain model-specific features, but the MG___X Upgrade Program is at its core characterized by the following factors:

• Better Capacitors - All capacitors that aren’t already replaced with high-quality, copper-rich, polypropylene capacitors [banks]. Each capacitor [and bank] used is individually tested to the hundredth, such that left and right crossovers’ capacitances are within five thousandths. With the increased level of testing and decrease in tolerance, minor value tweaks are employed in some models, resulting in fewer capacitors used and a smoother response overall.
• Better Coils (Inductors) - All coils that aren’t already replaced with high-gauge, copper wire, air-core, bobbin-wound coils [arrays]. Each coil [array] used is individually tested to the tenth, such that left and right crossovers’ inductances are within five hundredths
• Better Wiring - All wiring (except the green (+) and yellow (-) wires for True Ribbon Tweeters) is replaced with 15-gauge or higher solid-copper wire. Excess wire (for ease of assembly, for instance) is completely removed. C
• Better Connections - All connections within the circuit, from the solder lug attached to the terminal screw on the nameplate, to the crossover board, to the driver terminal block, and back, are soldered connections. Besides the terminal screw,
  solder lug, and jam nut connection on the nameplate, there are no mechanical connections used
• Better Inputs - All nameplate components are gold rather than nickel
