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 also the X-version, which is the newest and best generation of Magnepan speakers available today.

Technical: The Magnepan 2.7X is a 3-way floor-standing magnetostatic speaker. It stands 180cm tall, but is considerably narrower than its larger brother, the Magnepan 3.7i/3.7X. The Magnepan 2.7X, like the larger Magnepan models, uses a true ribbon tweeter for the high frequencies. This truly sets it apart from the MG1.7i. Now people who don't have the space for a large and wide MG3.7 or MG20.7 can also enjoy the best high tones that Magnepan has to offer.

X-series: This is a Magnepan 2.7X. During the development of the new X-series, many improvements were made, namely the following:

- Capacitors: All capacitors have been replaced with high-quality, copper-rich polypropylene capacitors. All capacitors are individually measured and paired for the least deviation in value between the capacitors installed in the speakers.

- Inductors: The inductors in the crossover have been replaced with inductors with copper wire of larger diameter. The inductors are also individually measured and paired.

- Internal Wiring: All internal wiring on the (+) and (-) leads of the tweeter has been replaced with 1.65mm² solid copper wiring. All excess wiring (such as for assembly convenience) has been completely removed to create the most direct signal paths.

- Connections: All connections in the speaker are now optimally soldered, with no mechanical connections remaining in the signal path.

- Speaker Inputs: The new speaker inputs are gold-plated rather than nickel-plated. Gold has a more musical character than nickel.

Listening: The new Magnepan 2.7X is a very special speaker. Certainly this X-version of the 2.7 has an enormously detailed and clean sound. The bass reproduction is extremely tight and musical, and it is also appreciated that the Magnepan 2.7X does not attempt to reproduce more bass than is possible from its panel. As a result, the bass reproduction is always in balance and never becomes muddy. The midtones and high tones have improved significantly with the Magnepan 2.7X, with noticeably more detail, more air, and better articulation. It's remarkable how easily the Magnepan 2.7X places music into the room and how clean, intelligible and resonance-free everything sounds. Not only does the sound technically work really well, it is also highly musical, sitting still is a difficult task when listening to this new Magnepan 2.7X.
