First off let me disclose that I am a dealer and I have heard all models that Magneplanar produces except the 30.7.
I do not sell Magneplanar but as a dealer I have sold some of the worlds most exotic planar magnetic speaker designs which include Wisdom Audio, Genesis and the flag ship BG Radia FS 880.
In all my years as an audiophile and a dealer I have been most satisfied with my musical enjoyment with a company by the name of GT Audio Works.
The speakers are a very special hand crafted Open dipole planar magnetic speaker.
What makes them so special is the fact that the main driver which is almost 6 feet tall Does not contain a transparency robbing crossover.
Additionally, unlike other manufacturers they do not employ the use of inferior aluminum traces but chose to use pure 6N copper traces ( A much better conductor of electrical signal then aluminum)
Most other manufacturers do not use any other material but mylar or kapton to reduce or eliminate the resonances these materials produce when they
Deliver the signal.
GT Audio works is the only company that I am aware of that is using a quasi-membrane (not just mylar or kapton alone) where the copper traces are bonded to which eliminate these resonances that can be quite unappealing on planar magnetic speakers that only contain a single surface driver using only mylar or kapton
These speakers in premium wood finish or hi gloss paint retail for 17k and have won numerous awards in many audio shows. Last year they were awarded best sound show at Capital Audiofest 2017 by AV Nirvana and we’re given rave reviews by numerous reviewers including Kemper Holt of Avshow rooms and enjoy the music. Kemper actually owns a pair of the speakers.
They can also be purchased with the optional open baffle servosubs - which brings the response of the speakers down to 15 hz
We welcome all auditions.
