Meet the MG2.7ix

The Magnepan MG2.7ix Upgraded Floor-standing Speakers (pair) bring Magnepan’s beloved “two-series” concept into a more elevated, performance-focused package for listeners who want the openness, coherence, and scale planar speakers are known for. Built as a 3-way full-range Magneplanar design, the MG2.7ix uses quasi-ribbon bass and midrange sections together with a true ribbon tweeter to create a spacious, low-box-coloration presentation that feels fast, dimensional, and highly revealing.

Placement note: like most Magnepans, these speakers benefit from space behind them so the rear wave can develop properly and the soundstage can open up with greater depth and realism.

Highlights & Benefits

• True ribbon treble performance — the dedicated ribbon tweeter is designed to deliver exceptional speed, air, and delicacy without the metallic edge some conventional dome tweeters can introduce.
• Planar coherence through the critical range — quasi-ribbon bass and midrange sections are engineered for low-mass responsiveness and the kind of continuous, panel-based presentation Magnepan fans value.
• Full-range 3-way design — the MG2.7 format is intended to strike an attractive balance between the size of larger Magnepans and the accessibility of more room-friendly models.
• Upgraded execution — the “ix” upgraded version is positioned around improved crossover and signal-path refinement for listeners who want more from the already strong MG2.7 platform.
• Expansive dipole soundstage — the open-back planar architecture helps create a large, layered, room-filling presentation with strong image height and depth.
• Serious planar value — the Magnepan MG2.7ix Upgraded Floor-standing Speakers (pair) are ideal for audiophiles who want genuine ribbon / planar performance in a package that remains more approachable than Magnepan’s largest models.

Technology & Design

Quasi-ribbon bass and midrange — both the bass and midrange sections use aluminum foil conductors adhered to a Mylar diaphragm, a Magnepan approach long associated with low mass, fast response, and low stored energy.

True ribbon tweeter — unlike a driver mounted to a substrate, the true ribbon element is suspended freely, contributing to the exceptional high-frequency speed and openness Magnepan ribbon designs are known for.

Upgraded crossover and internal parts path — the upgraded version is intended to build on the MG2.7 platform with improved crossover execution and enhanced signal-path refinement for greater transparency and musical resolution.

Dipole planar architecture — by radiating from both front and rear, the speaker interacts with the room differently than a conventional box speaker, often creating a larger and more natural sense of space when properly positioned.

In a well-set-up two-channel room, the Magnepan MG2.7ix Upgraded Floor-standing Speakers (pair) are engineered to deliver the speed, openness, and image scale that make planar loudspeakers so compelling for serious music listening.
