Magnetostatische luidsprekers, groot 3-weg model uit de 20-serie. Geen kast, maar een groot vlak paneel met een echte ribbon-tweeter, dat een heel ander en veel opener geluidsbeeld geeft dan een gewon
The MG 20.1 has a strong reputation as one of Magnepan’s big, spacious planar speakers, and at €4,500 this looks like a solid buy against your recent comparable market data. With a median of €5,263 and a 25th percentile of €4,882, this asking price sits below the lower quartile, which makes it a bargain rather than a merely fair offer.
What makes it worthwhile is the combination of scale, openness, and that effortless planar midrange that Magnepan fans chase for years. If the panels are healthy and the pair is complete, this is the kind of purchase that can deliver genuinely high-end sound for less than the recent norm. I’d mainly verify cosmetic condition, any buzzing or imbalance, and whether the stands, socks, and shipping setup are all in order.
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.
