Any New Magnepans In The Future??

Hi all,

I've owned the 1.6, 3.6 and 20...... Can't afford the 20.1 and wonder if/when Magnepan is going to update the 1.6 and/or the 3.6. And yes, just like the 20..they can be improved upon.

What I would wish for is a push-pull 1.6 and midrange panel on the 3.6...but who knows..as long as sales are good...there is probably no insentive for the folks at Maggie to do updates/improvements.

Could be...but that is not the impact it has had on the 20.1.

Whatjd...If the 20.1 is an improvement over the prior model it is not obvious that the push-pull magnet structure is the reason. After all, the 1.6 was greatly improved over its prior model without use of a push-pull magnet structure. The theoretical advantage of a push-pull structure is obvious, and even if it does not, in practice, buy much improvement it is easy for people to understand, and a good marketing point.

Perhaps I should add that I am a big fan of Maggies, and don't mean to be critical of the design.

True....and perhaps a new 1.7(?) could have as much improvement without the push pull thing.... Jim Winey was quoted on the 20.1 that he had not realized how much improvement making the midrange push-pull would make...
