Key Features

• Three-Way Full-Range Design: Utilizes aluminum foil for both bass and midrange, paired with a 40-inch True Ribbon Tweeter for clear high-frequency reproduction.
• Compact Form Factor: The 2.7i offers the perfect middle ground between the larger 1.7i and 3.7i models, making it suitable for smaller rooms or audio setups.

• True Ribbon Tweeter: Suspended aluminum foil tweeter ensures accurate and distortion-free high-frequency output.
• Dipole Sound Projection: Emits sound both forward and backward, creating an immersive audio environment with natural acoustics.

Design and Build

The 2.7i showcases meticulous craftsmanship with its high-grade construction. Each speaker is a three-way, full-range Magneplanar loudspeaker, featuring aluminum foil adhered to a Mylar diaphragm in the bass and midrange sections. This "quasi-ribbon" design is visible through the fabric cover, adding a touch of elegance to the speaker's appearance. The True Ribbon Tweeter, comprised of aluminum foil and suspended freely, not only enhances the visual appeal but also contributes to precise high-frequency reproduction. The overall design ensures both durability and aesthetic harmony, making the 2.7i a stylish addition to any audio setup.

Performance

Designed for high-fidelity sound, the 2.7i offers a frequency response of 40-30 kHz +/- 3dB, delivering crisp and clear audio across a wide spectrum. With a sensitivity of 86dB/500Hz at 1 meter and a nominal impedance of 4 Ohms, the speakers are engineered to work efficiently with a variety of amplifiers. The high slew-rate of over 160 V/µS and low harmonic distortion provide clear and precise sound, making the 2.7i ideal for both casual listening and critical audiophile applications. Its balanced design ensures that each frequency range is handled with equal precision, resulting in a cohesive and engaging listening experience.

Technology

Incorporating Magnepan's advanced planar magnetic technology, the 2.7i features a three-way, full-range system for balanced sound reproduction. The aluminum foil in the bass and midrange sections is adhered to a Mylar diaphragm, creating a "quasi-ribbon" effect that enhances detail and clarity. The True Ribbon Tweeter operates independently, suspended without a substrate to minimize distortion and deliver precise high-frequency output. This combination of technologies ensures that the 2.7i reproduces music with exceptional accuracy and depth, providing a dynamic and immersive audio experience.

Versatility and Compatibility

The 2.7i is designed to integrate seamlessly into a variety of audio systems. Whether paired with DWMs, serving as rear/surround speakers in a multi-channel system, or accompanying 20.7s as fronts, this speaker showcases its adaptability and prowess in various configurations. Its dipole design allows for flexible placement within a room, optimizing sound distribution for different environments. Whether used with traditional or modern audio setups, the 2.7i provides flexibility in placement to suit various room configurations and listening preferences.
