The .7 — High-End Audio where space is at a premium

An in-house favorite at Magnepan, the .7 model is the go-to speaker for those who are looking for world class sound at a reasonable price.

"Within minutes, I realized that the Magnepan .7 could image with the best speakers ever, and were going to take my music listening somewhere it had never quite been before."

"Whenever there is something fundamentally correct in a designers approach, the chances become extra good that the products of his or her efforts will reveal to a wide range of listeners fundamental musical truths.  And for me, the best thing about musical truths is that they never change or go out of fashion."  Herb Reichert, Stereophile magazine, Vol. 38, No. 8

Now available with the X Upgrade! 

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 awing 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, are 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, are 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 (aside from the green (+) and yellow (-) wires for True Ribbon Tweeters) is replaced with 15ga 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
