Quiet Introduction of the Magnepan 1.7i


Anyone aware of this or indeed heard them?

All I can say is be prepared for the 1.7i to be a much more convincing proposition than the old (if the 3.7 vs 3.7i is anything to go by).

It seems that Magnepan will even *pay* you to audition these speakers - no kidding!! Check out this link:

That's gotta be the smokin' deal of the decade, and the decade is only 5 years old... !!

RW, that's quite a loss-leader but their confidence may be well founded. It's strange really because you wouldn't have thought they needed to have an offer like this. The danger is it may open the floodgates for those who just want to claim the 100 bucks...

I'm a long-term Martin Logan user but the 3.7i is one impressive speaker. Something of a giant killer. Soon as I heard it I started making plans to own a pair. The only thing that would stop me is if someone on A'gon offered me a pair of MBL101s for free.... ;^)

Mmmmm, MBL, mmmmmmm!

Man, I *loves* me some MBL. I just responded to a "What would you buy if you won the lottery?" thread on AA and my answer was MBL all the way. Their stuff is to die for, IMHO...
