Magnepan 30.7x Planar Magnetic Speakers

The Magnepan 30.7x is Magnepan's flagship: a four-panel, four-way planar magnetic floorstanding speaker that builds on the 30.7 with the full X-Series treatment. Every crossover component has been rebuilt with better materials, tighter tolerances, and shorter signal paths. The ribbon/quasi-ribbon driver array is unchanged, but everything between the binding posts and the panels has been rethought from scratch.

Magnepan 30.7x Key Features

• Ribbon/Quasi-Ribbon Drivers: True Ribbon tweeter and quasi-ribbon midrange and bass drivers provide unmatched coherence and accuracy.
• X Series Component Upgrades: High-quality copper-rich capacitors, precision-matched inductors, and silver soldered connections for reduced distortion and enhanced fidelity.
• Refined Circuit Simplification: Fewer components, shorter wiring paths, and reduced mass ensure a cleaner, more precise signal.
• Adjustable Midbass Control: Fine-tune the bass response to adapt to room acoustics, ensuring ideal performance in a variety of spaces.
• Enhanced Imaging and Sound-Staging: Improved component matching delivers balanced left and right channels for a more natural spatial presentation.

Magnepan X-Series

The Listening Room Special

A custom, enhanced version of the X-Series that Magnepan builds for us, included for every customer on our X models.

• Custom nameplate with the Magnepan and Listening Room names.
• Cardas binding posts for a stronger and easier cable connection, plus Cardas attenuator connections on the back.
• All factory fuses and attenuation options are included.
• Upgraded packaging on the 2.7x and 3.7x with one speaker per box for safer delivery.

Inside the Magnepan 30.7x: Design and Build

The 30.7x retains the striking presence of the original 30.7 while incorporating the X-Series upgrades throughout. Each of the four panels (two per side) has been re-engineered with better materials and tighter quality control.

• Better Capacitors: Copper-rich polypropylene capacitors are individually tested and matched within five thousandths for perfect balance across both channels. This results in smoother frequency response and reduced signal degradation.
• Better Inductors: High-gauge, air-core inductors are hand-wound and tested to ensure precise inductance values and minimal resistance, further enhancing the purity of the audio signal.
• Better Wiring: The use of 15-gauge or higher solid copper wire and optimized layouts reduces overall wire mass and voltage loss, ensuring a cleaner signal path.
• Silver Soldered Connections: Eliminates mechanical connections for superior signal integrity and lower distortion.
• Enhanced Frame Rigidity: Cross-bracing within the frame minimizes vibrations and preserves the speaker's tonal balance.

These upgrades not only improve the speaker's overall performance but also ensure consistency and reliability in every unit.

The Magnepan 30.7x EXperience

The 30.7x offers a listening EXperience that is both precise and emotionally engaging. By simplifying the circuitry and upgrading key components, the 30.7x delivers:

• Clearer Highs and Airier Treble: The refined ribbon tweeter captures subtle details with incredible speed and transparency.
• More Defined Bass: Adjustable midbass control and optimized crossover design create tighter, more accurate low frequencies.
• Improved Instrument Separation: Voices and instruments emerge with enhanced clarity and presence, creating a lifelike soundstage.
• Perfectly Balanced Channels: Precise component matching ensures that both left and right speakers operate in harmony, delivering a cohesive and immersive sound.

The result is a speaker system that faithfully reproduces every nuance of the source material, from delicate acoustic performances to complex orchestral compositions.

Technology

The advanced ribbon and quasi-ribbon drivers at the heart of the 30.7x are complemented by the X-Series upgrades:

• Capacitor and Inductor Refinements: Each component is individually tested and adjusted to achieve near-perfect specifications. This attention to detail minimizes distortion and ensures smooth frequency transitions.
• Optimized Crossover Design: Simplified circuits with reduced component counts result in less signal loss and a more natural tonal balance.
• Silver Soldering: Connections are free from mechanical joins, ensuring minimal resistance and superior sound integrity.
• High-Quality Materials: Copper wiring, silver solder, and gilded nameplate components contribute to the speaker's performance and durability.

These advancements allow the 30.7x to deliver improved imaging, sound-staging, and overall fidelity at the highest level of planar magnetic reproduction.

The Listening Room Difference

We're the #1 Magnepan dealer in the US, and that's exactly why Magnepan builds custom X-Series versions for The Listening Room, with enhancements Mike orders for every customer. We don't just sell high-end audio, we provide a level of service that's as refined as the products we offer. When you invest in a speaker like the Magnepan 30.7x, you're getting a speaker built to a higher standard, backed by a team that knows these speakers inside and out.

Owner Michael Hoatson will personally deliver the 30.7x to your home, anywhere in the country. This isn't a curbside drop-off. Mike will ensure every detail of your setup is dialed in perfectly, from room placement and panel spacing to full system integration. When you buy from The Listening Room, you're getting the expertise and dedication of someone who truly understands what it takes to bring a system to life.

Adding a Subwoofer

If you want more low-end weight in larger rooms, a fast, musical subwoofer extends the bottom end without dragging on the panel's speed. We most often pair Magnepan with REL and Perlisten subwoofers, since both keep up with a planar's quickness rather than fighting it.
