The Magnepan 20.7 Floorstanding Speaker (Pair) is a flagship 3-way, full-range Magneplanar design created for listeners who want life-sized imaging, ultra-low coloration, and a convincing sense of acoustic space. It combines a true ribbon tweeter with quasi-ribbon midrange and quasi-ribbon bass sections in a dipole (front-and-rear radiating) configuration. With proper placement and robust amplification, the 20.7 is engineered to recreate instruments and venue scale with exceptional openness and realism.
Dipole placement matters: allowing space behind the panels helps develop depth, layering, and the expansive soundstage the 20.7 is known for.
Highlights & Benefits
True ribbon speed and air — delicate treble detail with exceptional openness.
Coherent, low-distortion planar presentation — quasi-ribbon midrange and bass preserve tonal truth and transient accuracy.
Massive soundstage and scale — dipole radiation can create a wider, deeper, more immersive presentation than conventional box speakers.
Room-filling realism — designed to deliver lifelike scope and size with acoustic recordings and high-resolution sources.
Reference foundation — the Magnepan 20.7 Floorstanding Speaker (Pair) anchors serious two-channel systems and can serve as an uncompromising L/R front stage.
Technology & Design
True ribbon tweeter — a freely suspended ribbon element for fast, transparent, high-frequency reproduction.
Quasi-ribbon midrange + bass — aluminum foil conductors on a Mylar diaphragm for low coloration and high resolution.
Dipole operation — radiates forward and backward, supporting spacious imaging when positioned with care.
Setup Notes
Angle inward — Magnepan recommends toe-in rather than placing panels parallel to the front wall.
Experiment with tweeter orientation — tweeters inside for a focused sweet spot; tweeters outside for a wider listening area.
Bring capable power — stable, high-current amplification is beneficial with a nominal 4Ω load.
FAQ
What is the driver configuration?
It is a 3-way, full-range ribbon design with quasi-ribbon bass and midrange, plus a true ribbon tweeter.
Do these require special placement?
Yes. As a dipole design, they benefit from space behind the panels and careful toe-in to optimize depth, imaging, and tonal balance.
What is the warranty coverage?
Limited warranty: 5 years to the original owner, and 1 year on the ribbon tweeter.
