New Magnepan 1.7 R


Did anyone else see the CNET article about the new Maggie's? It's a true ribbon 2 way speaker, wow. I had not heard anything about these anywhere before, or seen them at a show. Was the whole mini Maggie testing last year really about these?

I may have to break down and try these.

Any thoughts, or better yet, anyone on here who actully heard/saw them during the testing??

Sorry, article actually said a true "3 way" speaker not 2 way, pretty exciting for Magnepan.
Woohoo! This is indeed pretty exiting. I took delivery on my 1.6's 11 years ago yesterday and have only very recently got the itch for an upgrade, although every other component in my system has been replaced several times since then. You have to expect this to be something quite special, given that it will replace a speaker that has been so well received. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
