Also, these are intended for use as a part of an audio system or home-theater system. These speakers should be paired with high-end audio equipment for the most ideal effect. A powerful and/or high-current amplifier(s) is best—certain exceptions apply but generally an amp ought to be able to produce at least 160 watts per channel (RMS) into 4 ohms in order to properly drive the speakers. Within reason more power and/or higher current is better; there isn’t really an upper limit. In addition to the system components, the input signal should also be high-quality. Subpar components and/or input(s) will be sonically evident.
The MG2.7x are a pair of 3-way, full-range, Magneplanar loudspeakers. Both the Bass and Midrange sections are comprised of aluminum foil. Often referred to as “quasi-ribbon,” the foil is adhered to the Mylar diaphragm which is visible through the front of the fabric cover. The True Ribbon Tweeter is also comprised of aluminum foil however it is not mounted to a substrate but rather suspended freely. The MG2.7x reproduce sound by introducing an AC signal to: the conductor foil on the diaphragm which reacts to the fixed array of magnet strips mounted behind the Mylar; and the tweeter foil which reacts to the magnet channels on either side of it. This reaction vibrates the diaphragm/foil projecting sound as a dipole, both forward and backward.
The Magnepan 2.7x is an "X" series upgrade of the standard Magnepan 2.7i planar magnetic loudspeakers, featuring significant improvements to the crossover and signal path using higher-quality components and precise matching of parts, resulting in enhanced imaging, clarity, and overall sound quality, with a price point of 10,000 a pair.
Key features and improvements of the Magnepan 2.7x:
X Series Upgrade: The "X" designation signifies an upgrade program that replaces existing crossover components (capacitors, inductors, and wiring) with superior and highly matched parts, leading to improved sound reproduction.
Design: The 2.7x is a three-way, full-range planar magnetic speaker utilizing a "quasi-ribbon" design for bass and midrange (aluminum foil adhered to a Mylar diaphragm) and a separate True Ribbon Tweeter for high frequencies.
Sonic Enhancements: The upgraded components and shortened signal path contribute to improved imaging, sound-staging, clarity of voices and instruments, and a more airy and detailed high-frequency response.
Unique Properties: Magnepan speakers, including the 2.7x, produce sound as a dipole, radiating from both the front and back of the diaphragm, creating a unique and immersive sound field. They are also known for their longevity, with many units lasting 20 years or more.
