    Magnepan announces new high end speaker at top of their line -- 30.7

    Magnepan has announced a new speaker, the 30.7, at the top of their product line.


    In a preview, after rhapsodizing over their sound, Jonathan Valin wrote:


    "Oh, and I’ve saved the best for last. Not only are the 30.7s the handsomest-looking large Maggies of all time (in their blue trim and snow-white panel covers), they are also among the best deals Maggie has ever offered. They cost $29,000 the pair (release slated for January). That’s not chump change, I grant you, but compared to the price of the six-figure speakers they so successfully compete against, it makes them, perhaps, the greatest bargain in ultra-high-end history. "

    Once they're available, anyone in the market for ultra
    high end speakers will probably want to give these a listen. I'll want to hear them, even though I'm not in the market... yet! How about you?

      Magnepan "annouces" new centre channel
      by Andrew Pratt
      According to the Maggie user forum Magnepan is about to release a new centre channel speaker system. There's a link http://www.magnepan.com/mc1/ht.html that isn't yet a hyperlink of their site and there's no text yet so I gather they aren't ready to release this just yet but it looks interesting. ...

      Magnepan 1.7 Review

      Having been an extremely frugal music listener-mainly due to financial reasons-it has been difficult throughout the years to satisfy my want of good sound. I've typically either bought used gear, waited for something to pop up on the interweb, or used various employee discounts to buy the next piece of the audio nirvana pie. Thus it was outside my typical comfort zone when I purchased a brand new pair of Magnepan 1.7s two months ago. For that story, see this thread:

      RSX-1055 driving Magnepan MMG-Ws
      by jk@home
      I plan on trying some Magnepan MMGs (as mains) and MMG-Ws (as surrounds) in my HT system. An external amp will drive the MMGs, using the Rotel’s pre-outs.

      Is there a problem using the Rotel receiver's amps for the Maggie surrounds? The speakers are rated at 100Hz-16kHz, 88dB, and...
