Obs läs annonsen.. Säljer ett par Magnepan 1.7i varav den ena är defekt. Det går fortfarande att spela, men vid högre lyssningsnivåer så skrapar det.. Byten kan eventuellt vara intressant. Men då främst elektronik som slutsteg, försteg. Jag kan lägga pengar emellan.
Should you jump on this one before someone else does? At kr5,000, this is far below the kr20,782 25th percentile and a tiny fraction of the kr31,415 median for recent SEK listings, so it reads as a strong bargain rather than a merely decent ask. Even allowing for condition uncertainty, the price is so low versus the local market that the value proposition is hard to ignore.
This model is well liked for its big, open soundstage, fast planar bass, and unusually natural midrange when properly placed and driven. The upside is obvious if the panels are healthy and the socks, tweeters, and Mylar all check out; just make sure there’s no delamination, buzzing, or prior repair history, since those are the real make-or-break issues on older Magnepans.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Founded in 1969 in White Bear Lake, Minnesota, by engineer Jim Winey, Magnepan emerged from his dissatisfaction with electrostatic speakers during his time at 3M. Seeking a superior alternative, Winey invented the Magneplanar—a thin-film magnetic driver that rivaled electrostats without their limitations. Bootstrapped with funds from friends and family, the family-owned company has remained American-made, now led by Winey's son Mark from a 50,000-square-foot facility, upholding over five decades of planar innovation.
Magnepan specializes exclusively in planar magnetic loudspeakers, from compact Mini Maggies to towering flagships like the 3.7i. These full-range or hybrid panels eschew traditional cones for quasi-ribbon and true-ribbon drivers, delivering expansive soundstages and lifelike transients. The lineup avoids amplifiers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables, focusing solely on speakers that demand high-current amplification to thrive.
Positioned as a high-end niche leader, Magnepan commands reverence among audiophiles for neutral voicing, room-filling dispersion, and value that outpaces competitors dollar-for-dollar. Handcrafted in the USA with domestic parts—"Made in America. Sold in China"—its panels offer unmatched transparency at premium prices, cementing a legacy as the pinnacle of planar magnetic reproduction for discerning listeners worldwide.
