Angeboten wird „MG 1.7i legendärer 3-Wege-Flächenstrahler (Magnetostat)“ von Magnepan / Magneplanar als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Standlautsprecher“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 5691658627 endet am 31.07.2026 um 14:55 Uhr.
€2,299 is fair to slightly strong, not a bargain-basement score, but it’s in the right neighborhood for a well-kept 1.7i in Europe. The original MG 1.7 launched at about $1,995, and the 1.7i remains a premium, specialist panel speaker with used prices usually clustering around the mid-range rather than collapsing hard, so this ask makes sense if condition is genuinely good.
What you’re buying is the classic Magnepan appeal: huge, open soundstage, very natural mids, and that effortless dipole presentation that can make vocals and acoustic music feel startlingly real. The 1.7i is a 3-way, 4-ohm, 86 dB design, so it rewards proper amplification and a sensible room, but if the panels are clean and original and the seller can show no delamination or buzzing, this is a very worthwhile buy for someone set up to drive them.
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.
