True ribbon tweeter • Quasi-ribbon midrange + bass • Full-range dipole realism •
Founded in 1969, Magnepan is a Minnesota-based maker of critically acclaimed, high value dipole loudspeakers that are based upon planar magnetic and ribbon-type drivers (technical areas where company founder Jim Winey holds a number of core patents).
If know about and are looking for planar speakers - these are for you! A favorite of reviewers the world over!
From Magnepan: The 3.7i is the first model in our floor-standing lineup to incorporate our famous ribbon tweeter along with quasi-ribbon bass and midrange drivers. As Jonathan Valin says "Maggie's three-way, true-ribbon /quasi-ribbon planar 3.7i successfully addresses three issues that have long plagued "true-ribbon" Maggies: the seamless integration of that ribbon; the retention of detail and dynamic range at relatively low volume levels; and the reduction of "Maggie grain." The solution of these problems combined with the famous virtues of true-ribbon Magnepans produces what is, in JV's opinion, a best buy....."
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.
3-Way, Full-Range Dipole- True Ribbon Tweeter- Quasi-Ribbon Midrange- Quasi-Ribbon Bass Low Coloration,Expansive, room-filling soundstage
As a dipole, the 3.7i benefits from space behind the panels—this helps develop depth, layering, and a more holographic soundstage.
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.
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.
