Design and Build

The MG2.7x showcases meticulous craftsmanship with its high-grade construction, enhanced by the X-series upgrades. Each speaker remains 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 an elegant touch to the speaker's appearance. The True Ribbon Tweeter, comprised of aluminum foil and suspended freely, not only enhances visual appeal but also contributes to precise high-frequency reproduction. With the X-series refinements, the chassis and internal components have been optimized for durability and aesthetic harmony, ensuring the MG2.7x is a stylish and reliable addition to any audio setup.

Performance

Designed for high-fidelity sound, the MG2.7x offers a frequency response of 40Hz to 40kHz, 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 MG2.7x ideal for both casual listening and critical audiophile applications. The X-series upgrades further enhance performance by ensuring balanced crossover components and optimized signal pathways, resulting in a cohesive and engaging listening experience.

Technology

Incorporating Magnepan's advanced planar magnetic technology, the MG2.7x 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. The X-series upgrades introduce superior capacitors, high-gauge copper coils, and silver-soldered connections, reducing signal loss and ensuring thermal stability. These technological enhancements work together to reproduce music with exceptional accuracy and depth, providing a dynamic and immersive audio experience.

Versatility and Compatibility

The MG2.7x Mini Maggie System is designed to integrate seamlessly into various audio setups. Whether paired with DWMs, serving as rear/surround speakers in a multi-channel system, or accompanying other Magnepan speakers as front channels, the Mini Maggie demonstrates its adaptability across different configurations. Its dipole design allows for flexible placement within a room, optimizing sound distribution for different environments. Additionally, the system is well-suited for near-field listening in small rooms, making high-fidelity audio accessible without the need for extensive space or complex installation.
