Magnepan announces the 20.7


Jacob Heilbrunn has a first look on The Absolute Sound's site.

"But here’s the skinny: no other speaker at this price will offer even remotely similar lifelike performance, and it should—no, will—scare the bejeezus out of most of its competitors. It’s no accident that Audio Research, which I also got to visit, has 3.7 loudspeakers as part of its reference system. So go ahead. Search for another loudspeaker. But I can only wish you good luck. I defy you to find one at up to five times the cost with the scale and realism of the 20.7."

I prefer to believe that my ARC VT200 is totally inadequate to drive the 20.7s! (:
"Are they (magnepan) simply going to 'skip' 20.2->.6?"

Either that, or they have a lot of failed models littering the workshop floor. :-)
the 20.7 must designate that similar technology is used throughout these models now.
You're right, latest word is that they have both the series crossover and a quasi-ribbon bass panel.
Will be interesting to see how other reviewers feel about these. I have a pair of 201's and love them. Will be interesting to see if the new models are really noticeably better than the old ones. Problem with selling my 20.1s is shipping them unless I could find a buyer in the Atlanta area....Hmmmmm..............
