General: The Magnepan 1.7i is the smallest 3-way planar speaker from Magnepan

Technology: The Magnepan 1.7i features a single diaphragm with ribbons of 3 different sizes. The largest segment is the bass driver. The narrower segment with the wide ribbons is the midrange driver and the smallest segment with much smaller ribbons is the tweeter. All frequencies come from the same plane, making this speaker inherently very phase-coherent. All frequencies come from one point. And that is audible. You will need a robust amplifier for the Magnepan 1.7i, as its efficiency is not very high and the impedance is 4 ohms. Once connected to a good and robust amplifier, you will quickly notice that the sound quality of the Magnepan 1.7i is many times better than its price suggests.

Listening: Once you get used to Magnepans, you can't go back to dynamic speakers, as they say. And there's something to that. Magnepans sound extremely pure and have no cabinet coloration. After all, a Magnepan has no cabinet. However, a Magnepan, including this 1.7i, needs some distance from the rear wall, at least 75 cm, but once positioned this way, a completely unique sound quality reveals itself. The soundstage is large, pure and with great precision. The Magnepan 1.7i is suitable for all types of music, but we can't really call it a hard rock speaker—this speaker is far too pure sounding for that.
