Magnepan MG2.7ix Upgraded Floor-standing Speakers (pair)
3-way full-range Magneplanar design • quasi-ribbon bass and midrange panels • true ribbon tweeter • upgraded crossover / wiring package • dipole floor-standing architecture
Meet the MG2.7ix
The Magnepan MG2.7ix Upgraded Floor-standing Speakers (pair) bring Magnepan’s beloved “two-series” concept into a more elevated, performance-focused package for listeners who want the openness, coherence, and scale planar speakers are known for. Built as a 3-way full-range Magneplanar design, the MG2.7ix uses quasi-ribbon bass and midrange sections together with a true ribbon tweeter to create a spacious, low-box-coloration presentation that feels fast, dimensional, and highly revealing.
3-Way Full-Range True Ribbon Tweeter Quasi-Ribbon Bass / Mid Dipole Radiation 4 Ohm Nominal Upgraded Version
Placement note: like most Magnepans, these speakers benefit from space behind them so the rear wave can develop properly and the soundstage can open up with greater depth and realism.
Highlights & Benefits
-
True ribbon treble performance — the dedicated ribbon tweeter is designed to deliver exceptional speed, air, and delicacy without the metallic edge some conventional dome tweeters can introduce.
-
Planar coherence through the critical range — quasi-ribbon bass and midrange sections are engineered for low-mass responsiveness and the kind of continuous, panel-based presentation Magnepan fans value.
-
Full-range 3-way design — the MG2.7 format is intended to strike an attractive balance between the size of larger Magnepans and the accessibility of more room-friendly models.
-
Upgraded execution — the “ix” upgraded version is positioned around improved crossover and signal-path refinement for listeners who want more from the already strong MG2.7 platform.
-
Expansive dipole soundstage — the open-back planar architecture helps create a large, layered, room-filling presentation with strong image height and depth.
-
Serious planar value — the Magnepan MG2.7ix Upgraded Floor-standing Speakers (pair) are ideal for audiophiles who want genuine ribbon / planar performance in a package that remains more approachable than Magnepan’s largest models.
Technology & Design
Quasi-ribbon bass and midrange — both the bass and midrange sections use aluminum foil conductors adhered to a Mylar diaphragm, a Magnepan approach long associated with low mass, fast response, and low stored energy.
True ribbon tweeter — unlike a driver mounted to a substrate, the true ribbon element is suspended freely, contributing to the exceptional high-frequency speed and openness Magnepan ribbon designs are known for.
Upgraded crossover and internal parts path — the upgraded version is intended to build on the MG2.7 platform with improved crossover execution and enhanced signal-path refinement for greater transparency and musical resolution.
Dipole planar architecture — by radiating from both front and rear, the speaker interacts with the room differently than a conventional box speaker, often creating a larger and more natural sense of space when properly positioned.
In a well-set-up two-channel room, the Magnepan MG2.7ix Upgraded Floor-standing Speakers (pair) are engineered to deliver the speed, openness, and image scale that make planar loudspeakers so compelling for serious music listening.
FAQ — MG2.7ix
What type of speaker is the MG2.7ix?
It is a 3-way, full-range Magneplanar loudspeaker using quasi-ribbon bass and midrange sections together with a true ribbon tweeter.
What does the upgraded “ix” version mean?
The upgraded version is positioned around enhanced crossover and signal-path refinement for higher performance than the standard MG2.7 platform.
Are these conventional box speakers?
No. They are dipole planar floor-standing speakers, which means they radiate from both the front and rear rather than using a traditional enclosed cabinet design.
What amplifier works well with them?
With a 4 ohm nominal impedance and 86dB sensitivity, they benefit from a quality amplifier that is comfortable delivering current into 4 ohm speaker loads.
How should they be placed?
They generally perform best with some distance from the front wall so the rear wave can develop properly and the spacious planar soundstage can fully emerge.
