Unlike the foil bass and midrange sections, the ribbon is not bonded to a supporting diaphragm. Its extremely low moving mass allows it to respond rapidly to subtle musical changes, producing open, extended highs with exceptional transient detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFoil Bass and Midrange Drivers\u003c\/strong\u003e — The bass and midrange sections use aluminum conductors bonded to Mylar diaphragms. The large radiating surfaces distribute the driving force over a broad area, allowing the panels to move very little while producing detailed and dynamically convincing sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSimplification\u003c\/strong\u003e — Magnepan carefully evaluates crossover topology, wiring length, component count, junctions, and overall electrical mass.

The 2.7x includes a dedicated 40-inch true ribbon tweeter. The aluminum ribbon is freely suspended rather than attached to a Mylar substrate, giving it exceptionally low moving mass and excellent high-frequency speed and extension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat type of amplifier is recommended for the 2.7x?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2.7x has a nominal 4-ohm impedance and 86dB sensitivity. It performs best with a high-quality, high-current amplifier that is stable into 4 ohms. Appropriate power depends on room size, listening distance, preferred volume, and musical material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow should the Magnepan 2.7x be positioned?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a dipole speaker, the 2.7x should be positioned away from the wall behind it. Experimenting with distance from the wall, spacing, toe-in, ribbon orientation, and listening position will help optimize bass balance, image focus, and soundstage
