General description
The Magnepan MG-1.7i is a floorstanding speaker known for its clear and detailed sound reproduction. Thanks to quasi-ribbon technology, in which thin foil strips are attached to a mylar diaphragm, this speaker offers a wide frequency range and high power handling capacity. This results in low distortion and seamless clarity that appeals to many music lovers.

The MG-1.7i’s design is slim and minimalist, making it fit into a variety of interiors. The speaker radiates sound both forward and backward, contributing to a spacious and lifelike sound experience. For optimal performance, it is important to place the speakers at the proper distance from the rear wall so that sound reproduction is not affected by reflections.

The MG-1.7i is suitable for various genres of music and offers accurate reproduction of instruments and voices. It is recommended to use an amplifier capable of supplying sufficient power, as these speakers have an impedance of 4 ohms and a sensitivity of 86 dB.

Magnepan MG-1.7i Specifications
Description: 3-way, full-range, quasi-ribbon Frequency response: 40–24 kHz Recommended power: See Frequently Asked Questions Sensitivity: 86 dB/500 Hz/2.83 V Impedance: 4 Ohms Dimensions: 19 x 65 x 2 inches
Background information
The Magnepan MG-1.7i is a full-range quasi-ribbon loudspeaker designed by Wendell Diller and the Magnepan team. The speaker uses Magnepan’s unique planar-magnetic technology, in which an ultra-thin film with conductive traces in a magnetic field produces sound waves. The 1.7i has no traditional cabinet, which prevents cabinet resonances and creates an open, spacious soundstage. All speakers are hand-assembled in White Bear Lake, Minnesota (USA), with high-quality components sourced largely locally.
Brand history
Magnepan was founded in 1969 by engineer Jim Winey in White Bear Lake, Minnesota, United States. The company is known for its Magneplanar speakers, which use a magnetostatic design with a planar driver mounted in a panel. This design uses thin conductive wires or foils attached to a Mylar film, which is in a magnetic field. When an electrical signal is applied, the Mylar film moves, resulting in sound emitted from both the front and back of the panel. This approach differs from conventional speakers that use cone-shaped drivers in an enclosure. Magnepan has developed several models, including the MG-3.7i, which is known for its specific design features.

Questions & Answers

How is the Magnepan MG-1.7i connected to an amplifier?
Use high-quality speaker cables to connect the speakers to the amplifier, connecting the positive and negative terminals correctly.
What is the recommended placement for optimal sound reproduction?
Place the speakers at least 60 cm from the rear wall and 90 cm from the side walls, with a slight angle toward the listening position.
Which amplifier power is suitable for the MG-1.7i?
An amplifier with at least 120 watts per channel at 4 ohms is recommended for optimal performance.
Is it possible to adjust the tweeter response?
Yes, by using the included 1-ohm resistors, the tweeter response can be attenuated in rooms with hard, reflective surfaces.
How can phase correction be optimized?
Tilt the speakers inward so that the tweeters do not protrude in front of the bass/midrange section to achieve optimum phase correction.
Are the MG-1.7i speakers suitable for use in small spaces?
Yes, despite their size, they are designed to perform in various room sizes, if placed correctly.
How is the polarity of the speakers checked?
Make sure the positive and negative connections of the speakers match those of the amplifier to avoid phase problems.
Is bi-wiring possible with the MG-1.7i?
No, the MG-1.7i is not designed for bi-wiring; use a single set of speaker cables for connection.
How is bass response improved?
Experiment with the distance from the rear wall and the angle of the speakers to adjust bass response to the listening room.
Are the MG-1.7i compatible with surround sound systems?
Yes, they can be integrated into a surround sound system, but function best as front speakers in a stereo setup.

CD

The Compact Disc (CD), like most inventions, did not appear out of thin air. After the invention of the laser in 1958, the first patent for optically readable disks was filed in 1961. The first digital video records were introduced in 1972. After a flop by Philips, the manufacturer, together with Sony, released the first CD in 1979. We do not know what it contained, but in 1982 the first CD was released for the market, it was the album Visitors by ABBA. In this year the first player became available and so began the elimination of the LP from the market. Many have literally thrown their LPs in the trash… we still see some visitors being disappointed when they tell us this. Velen hebben hun lp’s letterlijk bij het vuil gezet… sommige bezoekers zien wij nog steeds balen als ze dit vertellen.
