Overview — Magnepan 1.7i Floor Standing Speakers (pair)

The Magnepan 1.7i Floor Standing Speakers (pair) deliver the signature Magnepan dipole presentation: an open, spacious soundstage with exceptional midrange realism and fast, coherent transient response. Built as a tall, slim, 3-way full-range quasi-ribbon planar-magnetic loudspeaker, the 1.7i is engineered to play with high resolution and low distortion, preserving vocal texture and acoustic instrument timbre while maintaining scale and immersion for both music and cinema listening.

Placement matters with dipoles. Allow space behind the panels to develop depth, layering, and a more holographic stage.

Highlights & Benefits

• Soundstage that breathes — dipole radiation helps create width and depth that feels “out of the box.”
• Natural midrange realism — planar-magnetic speed and coherence keep vocals and strings lifelike and unforced.
• Low distortion at real listening levels — designed for clarity and composure as volume rises.
• Room-friendly footprint — tall and slim panels that visually disappear more than traditional box speakers.
• System anchor — the Magnepan 1.7i Floor Standing Speakers (pair) are a reference-caliber foundation for two-channel or front L/R duty in a high-end theater.

Technology & Design

Quasi-ribbon planar-magnetic architecture — fast diaphragm behavior supports transient accuracy and tonal nuance.

Dipole (open-baffle) radiation — energizes the room differently than a conventional box, often improving spaciousness and imaging when properly placed.

3-way full-range layout — dedicated sections for lows, mids, and highs help maintain clarity and scale across the band.

Setup Notes

• Give them space — start with a few feet behind the panels and adjust for bass definition and depth.
• Toe-in carefully — small changes can strongly affect center image focus and treble balance.
• Use stable amplification — a high-current amp is beneficial with a nominal 4Ω load.
