New Magnepan


Word is that Magnepan will premiere a new statement loudspeaker to replace the 20.1 at CES. Maybe a new Tympani?

Really? I have been preparing to buy a pair of 20.1's in the next couple of weeks.....anyone know anything? If the new speaker (assuming this is real and not merely rumor) is a $30,000 model, it matters not, but if it is "replacing" the 20.1 and will be roughly in that price range, then perhaps I should hold off.....Thanks for any thoughts/info.....
i spoke to wendell. he will not talk. i called the show in vegas. the representative told me he heard the speaker in minnesota, in a darkened room. he would not tell me what it was.

i guess we will need to wait until after ces.
Well, I guess I am on hold then until I can get some more information. Too bad as I actually have the scratch and inclination to buy. Fortunately, CES is not too far off. Any speculation as to how long after CES it would be before the new speaker is actually available?
Just spoke with my Magnepan dealer. He says that Magnepan would not reveal what the new speaker is, but that they unequivocally stated that the 20.1 was not being replaced. My dealer says that he has heard rumors of a new "statement" speaker being designed and that his best guess is that the new speaker will likely be a higher end model. Thus, hypothetically, the new speaker will displace the 20.1 as the king of the hill, but the 20.1 will remain in the lineup.

Anyone else hear anything?
