FAQ’s

What makes the Magnepan MG2.7i Floorstanding Speakers different from traditional speakers?
The Magnepan MG2.7i uses planar magnetic drivers instead of conventional cone drivers, resulting in exceptionally low distortion, fast response, and a more natural presentation.
Do the Magnepan MG2.7i speakers require powerful amplification?
The Magnepan MG2.7i Floorstanding Speakers typically perform best with high-quality amplifiers capable of delivering stable current and power for optimal control.
Are the Magnepan MG2.7i suitable for home theatre systems?
While they can be used in home theatre setups, the 7i is primarily designed for high-end stereo listening where its wide soundstage and detail can be fully appreciated.
What type of music sounds best on the Magnepan MG2.7i?
The Magnepan MG2.7i excels with acoustic, jazz, classical, and vocal recordings, though it performs beautifully across a wide range of musical genres.
How much space do the Magnepan MG2.7i speakers need?
Like many planar speakers, the Magnepan MG2.7i Floorstanding Speakers benefit from some distance from the rear wall to achieve the best soundstage and imaging.

Key Features & Benefits

Planar Magnetic Driver Technology

The Magnepan MG2.7i Floorstanding Speakers use Magnepan’s signature planar magnetic drivers, delivering fast transient response and remarkable transparency compared with conventional cone-based speakers.

Quasi-Ribbon Midrange Driver

A large quasi-ribbon midrange panel reproduces vocals and instruments with exceptional realism, allowing subtle musical details and textures to emerge naturally.

Wide Soundstage and Imaging

Thanks to their large planar surface area, the MG2.7i speakers produce a spacious and highly immersive soundstage that extends well beyond the physical placement of the speakers.

Low Distortion Performance

Planar magnetic drivers operate with minimal mechanical distortion, helping preserve the purity of the original recording.

Elegant Floorstanding Design

The slim panel design allows the Magnepan MG2.7i to integrate gracefully into listening spaces while delivering impressive full-range performance.

Ideal For?

Dedicated stereo Hi-Fi systems
Medium to large listening rooms
Listeners who value natural sound and expansive soundstage

The MG___X Upgrade Program

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. Model depended: with the above capacitance changes in mind, some values are minorly adjusted for smoother response overall.

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.

Careful attention is paid to design, layout, and pathing of the crossover components such that wire lengths are short and the overall wire-mass is significantly reduced. Left and right crossover and nameplate impedances are ensured to be equivalent for ideal balance.

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.

Appearance

The appearance of an MG___X is not intended to be visually really any different from that of its non-X counterpart (aside from the gold nameplate components in situations where that wouldn’t already be gold).

The crossover of some models may be visible, such as with the MG1.7x, and as such that will be noticeably different in a side-by-side test, from the back of the speaker. The nameplate will also have a small red “X” after the model to denote that it is a part of the X Upgrade program.
