EN.

General: The Magnepan 2.7 is the latest creation from Magnepan. It is a model positioned between the smaller MG1.7 and the larger MG 3.7. This is the i-version, the somewhat more relaxed-sounding variant of the upgraded 2.7x.

Technology: The Magnepan 2.7i is a 3-way floor-standing magnetostatic speaker. It stands 180cm tall, but is considerably narrower than its larger sibling, the Magnepan 3.7i/3.7X. The Magnepan 2.7i uses, like the larger Magnepan models, a true ribbon tweeter for the high frequencies. The pure ribbon is not a ribbon glued to mylar foil, but a pure ribbon suspended freely in the air. This makes it much lighter, and therefore faster and more precise. This truly sets it apart from the MG1.7i and similar models. Now people who don't have the space for a large and wide MG3.7 or MG20.7 can also enjoy the finest high-frequency reproduction that Magnepan has to offer.

Listening: The new Magnepan 2.7i is a very special speaker with a well-known sound. This new 2.7i sounds like a 3.7i, but with slightly lighter and faster bass reproduction. For orchestral intensity, the 3.7i certainly goes further, but the difference isn't huge. The bass reproduction is extremely tight and musical; it's also appreciated that the Magnepan 2.7i doesn't attempt to produce more bass than what is possible from its panel. This ensures that the bass reproduction is always balanced and never becomes muddy. The midrange and high frequencies are fantastic, and the air around the instruments is excellent. It's remarkable how easily the Magnepan 2.7i places music in the room and how clean, intelligible and resonance-free everything sounds. Not only does the sound check out technically, it is also highly musical—sitting still is a challenge when listening to this new Magnepan 2.7i. The Magnepan 2.7i can be described as a somewhat more relaxed-sounding 2.7x. The 2.7x goes further in definition, openness and dynamics. Ohm-Audio B.V. has both models available so they can be compared. Schedule an appointment!
