About the MG-20.1
The Magnepan MG-20.1 is a full-range, three-way planar-magnetic loudspeaker system designed for audiophiles seeking high resolution and natural sound reproduction. It features a box-free design with a wooden frame supporting three large drivers: a 5-foot true ribbon tweeter, a 137 square-inch quasi-ribbon planar-magnetic midrange with a push-pull magnet structure, and a 786 square-inch planar-magnetic bass panel. This design eliminates enclosure resonance and coloration, delivering a transparent, open midrange and crystal-clear highs. The bass is fast, full, and well-defined without boxy coloration. The speaker has a frequency response of 25Hz to 40kHz ±3dB, a sensitivity of 86dB at 500Hz, and a nominal impedance of 4 ohms. It can be bi-amplified or bi-wired and requires a recommended amplifier power of 100 to 300 watts RMS. The MG-20.1 is known for its even tonal balance, realistic soundstage portrayal, and dynamic agility, making it suitable for a wide range of music genres. Dimensions are approximately 79 inches high, 29 inches wide, and 1.625 inches deep, with a weight of about 140 pounds per speaker. The speakers are hand-built in the USA and have been praised for their state-of-the-art midrange clarity and exceptional ribbon tweeter performance.
