The Magnepan 3.7i Floorstanding Speaker (Pair) brings Magnepan’s flagship-style planar performance to serious two-channel and
front-stage theater systems. It combines a true ribbon tweeter with quasi-ribbon midrange and
quasi-ribbon bass drivers in a 3-way, full-range dipole design. The result is an open, immersive presentation with remarkable
transparency, precise imaging, and a natural sense of scale that helps voices and instruments sound lifelike and unboxed.
As a dipole, the 3.7i benefits from space behind the panels—this helps develop depth, layering, and a more holographic soundstage.
Highlights & Benefits
True ribbon treble — fast, airy, high-resolution detail with a spacious top end.
Planar coherence — quasi-ribbon midrange and bass for low distortion and convincing timbre.
Dipole soundstage — wide and deep imaging that can feel more “live” than conventional box speakers.
Full-range scale — designed to reproduce realistic size, dynamics, and presence across music genres.
Reference foundation — the Magnepan 3.7i Floorstanding Speaker (Pair) is an ideal anchor for high-end stereo listening or L/R front-channel duty.
Technology & Design
True ribbon tweeter — a freely suspended aluminum ribbon produces exceptionally fast, delicate high frequencies.
Quasi-ribbon midrange + bass — aluminum foil conductors adhered to a Mylar diaphragm for speed, control, and low coloration.
Dipole radiation — radiates forward and backward to help create an expansive, room-filling presentation when placed properly.
Fine-tuning options — the manual details optional attenuation via resistors for balance tailoring (system- and room-dependent).
Setup Notes
Placement first — start with meaningful distance from the front wall and adjust for bass definition and depth.
Toe-in to taste — small changes can strongly affect center image focus and treble balance.
Use stable amplification — nominal 4Ω planar speakers typically reward high-current, stable amps.
FAQ
What makes the 3.7i different from smaller Magnepans?
It incorporates Magnepan’s true ribbon tweeter along with quasi-ribbon midrange and bass in a full-range, 3-way floor-standing design.
Do dipole speakers require special placement?
They benefit from space behind the panels so the rear wave can develop depth and spaciousness. Start with generous rear-wall distance and fine-tune by ear.
Is it suitable for home theater?
Yes. Many listeners use the 3.7i as reference front L/R channels for immersive, highly intelligible performance.
