Reference 3-way planar magnetic & true ribbon loudspeaker pair • full-height true aluminum ribbon line-source tweeter • push-pull quasi-ribbon midrange • high-area planar bass driver • unboxed dipolar radiation pattern • hand-crafted in White Bear Lake, Minnesota
The Magnepan 20.7 Floorstanding Speaker (Pair) serves as Magnepan's premier single-panel reference statement, bridging the gap between practical room integration and cost-no-object planar dipole transparency. Standing nearly seven feet tall without a traditional cabinet enclosure, this 3-way floorstanding loudspeaker pair pairs a full-height true aluminum ribbon tweeter with high-velocity push-pull quasi-ribbon midrange foils and a massive planar magnetic bass section. Completely free of enclosure resonance and internal cavity reflections, it renders full orchestral dynamics, microscopic ambient detail, and lifelike acoustic scale across an expansive holographic soundstage.
Key Features & Innovations
Full-Length True Aluminum Ribbon Tweeter — the Magnepan 20.7 Floorstanding Speaker (Pair) integrates Magnepan's signature 6.5-foot direct-radiating aluminum foil ribbon, providing coherent line-source dispersion up to 40,000 Hz with microsecond transient responsiveness.
Push-Pull Quasi-Ribbon Midrange Array — ultra-light foil traces bonded to a Mylar diaphragm are driven symmetrically from front and back, yielding liquid vocal texture, low harmonic distortion, and precise phase alignment.
Large-Surface Planar Dipolar Bass Driver — expansive planar low-frequency driver displaces air evenly without cabinet compression or port colorations, reproducing articulate, pitch-defined bass down to 25 Hz.
Complete Box-Free Dipole Acoustic Design — radiates equal acoustic energy front and rear in a figure-8 pattern, eliminating internal box standing waves, boxy coloration, and cabinet edge diffraction.
Bi-Wire & Bi-Amp Capable Crossover Architecture — precision external crossover connections allow independent attenuation of tweeter and midrange output levels via factory resistors to optimize tonal balance for various listening environments.
FAQ — Magnepan 20.7
Does this package include two complete floorstanding speakers?
Yes. The Magnepan 20.7 Floorstanding Speaker (Pair) is supplied and priced as a factory-matched pair consisting of two complete 3-way planar loudspeakers (mirror-imaged left and right panels).
What amplifier power is recommended for the Magnepan 20.7?
Magnepan recommends powering the 20.7 with stable, high-current power amplifiers delivering between 250 and 500 Watts continuous power into a purely resistive 4-Ohm load.
How far from the front wall should the speakers be placed?
Because the 20.7 is a true dipole radiator producing sound from both the front and rear, placing the panels at least 3 to 5 feet into the room away from the front boundary wall provides optimal depth of field and bass impact.
Where is the Magnepan 20.7 designed and manufactured?
Every pair of Magnepan 20.7 loudspeakers is precision-engineered, hand-crafted, and individually tested at Magnepan's production facility in White Bear Lake, Minnesota, USA.
