Magnepan has manufactured full-range ribbon and planar stereo speakers for 41 years. Magneplanar home theater and stereo speakers have one common attribute: high resolution. High resolution in home theater speakers creates the same "magic" for home theater as music lovers have experienced from Magneplanar stereo speakers for the past 41 years.
The Magneplanar 1.7 — the first new loudspeaker from Magnepan in better than a decade — was the most eagerly anticipated introduction at this year’s CES. Happily, its debut turned out to be a smashing success. Even more happily, its “debut” in my listening room, which took place last Wednesday when Maggie’s Wendell Diller installed them in my system, has been a smashing success. I have now listened to the 1.7s for five days (almost continually, which should tell you something about their irresistible appeal) and I can say with confidence that they are worthy successors to the 1.6s, the speakers I have long thought (and often called) the best buys in high-end audio.
The introduction of the 3.7 during CES 2011 was very similar to the introduction of the 1.7 during CES 2010. In their show coverage, www.theaudiobeat.com summed up the reaction of many who heard the 3.7 at the Audio Research and Magnepan rooms... In terms of high-end audio in early 2011, we don't know of a more important and impressive debut than that of the 3.7.
