MG 3.6 and MG-1.6 Replacements Coming?

Hi Flynntom, Yes that is what they were saying only a few months before the 20.1 replaced the 20.,,,but who knows.

I have owned the 1.6, 3.6 and 20...but not the 20.1. As much as I like the 1.6 and 3.6...they are in need of updating..as the sound of the 20.1 proves over the 20.

Hi Whatjd, If I were to take a guess at the thinking on this I'd have to say that a 3.6 with the Push pull mid config. would probably perform well enough to cut into 20.1 sales in a big an possibly unacceptable way.

A little off the subject but this does relate. I have heard that a replacement for the CC3 with a ribbon tweeter is in the works.

Flynntom hit the nail on the head. Same would go from a 1.6 upgraded and thus more costly would interfer with 3.6 sales. I am very familiar with the 20.1 construction and the 3.6, magnepan would be DUMB to implement the push pull driver on 3.6- 20.1 sales would drop off in a big way.

Thanks for your thoughts...but how many 20.1 does Magnepan sell? My guess is that the sales/profits from an upgraded 1.6 and 3.6 would do more for Magnepans bottom line than letting them get older...just to keep the 20.1 at it's current sales level. Also, a push-pull 1.6 could easily justify 2500.00+ and the upgraded 3.6 could likely go for a grand more than the current model....kinda like how many 5a does Vandy sell compared to the model 2 and 3...and doing the 2sig and 3sig..using stuff they learned on the 5 only helped their sales....I feel the same thing would happen to the Maggie line.

The 20.1 would still have the di-planer bass panel...larger panels over-all..and better crossover.
