Magnepan MG 20.1
Are you familiar with all the techniques used to reproduce sound signals? Well, we’ve got the cone-like design, that’s the standard, and the plasma-powered speakers which are way too expensive. But have you heard of the planar design? Magnepan are responsible for this kind of technology.
Magnepan has been manufacturing ribbon and planar stereo speakers for over 37 years. Their uniquely-designed Magneplanar home theater and stereo speakers have one common attribute: high resolution. As you can see in the image, these guys are manufacturing speaker panes that could cover an entire room.
MG 20.1 is Magnepan’s top solutions for audiophiles who are looking for the best and most cost effective way to have the "concert experience" at home. The MG 20.1 planar speakers have wide dynamic range and deep bass response.
Here’s what Jonathan Valin of Fi Magazine had to say about this solution after testing it for some days:
"So what have we got here? A big planar speaker that throws the widest, deepest, tallest, most coherent soundfield I've heard from a hi-fi system, filled with the most naturally-sized instruments I've heard from a hi-fi system, with the sweetest, most natural timbres I've heard from a hi-fi system, the finest dynamic nuance I've heard from a hi-fi system (particularly in the treble), and the most natural illusion of instrumental "action" I've heard from a hi-fi system. What we've got here, in sum, is "realistic reproduction" in the highest sense of the phrase, in the sense I spoke of earlier, the virtual duplication of instruments and voices rather than mere analogs of certain aspects of their sound....While it's hard to call anything that costs nearly ten grand a bargain, I can tell you this; if it were my money, and I were shopping for the very best, these are the speakers I'd buy."
For those of you who enjoy outstanding technical specs, take a look at these:
• Freq. Response: 25-40kHz ±3dB
• Sensitivity: 85dB/500Hz /2.83v
• Power: works with any type of amplification
• Impedance: 4 Ohm
• Dimensions 29 x 79x 2.062
• Available in natural or black solid oak trim, off-white, black or grey fabric. (Dark Cherry trim available at an extra charge)
Slow down, a single pane of these can set you back $12,0000.
