Design and Build

The Magnepan 30.7 is designed as a line source speaker, featuring two panels per side—one for bass and another for midrange and treble. This innovative layout ensures seamless integration across all frequencies while maintaining an imposing yet elegant presence. The large bass panels provide deep, accurate low-frequency performance, while the ribbon tweeter and quasi-ribbon midrange deliver exceptional speed, detail, and transparency.

Adjustable midbass control allows the 30.7 to adapt to a variety of room sizes and acoustic conditions, solving challenges like excessive midbass that can occur in smaller spaces. Thoughtful engineering ensures that these adjustments preserve the speaker’s natural tonal balance and clarity.

"This is the first and only Maggie I’ve heard in which Magnepan’s true ribbon tweeter doesn’t immediately stick out like a sore, uh, true ribbon. The blend—in speed, resolution, output, timbre—with the quasi-ribbon midrange is forehead-slappingly seamless, suggesting some kind of major reduction in the quasi’s breakup modes (or other distortions) through the crossover region, and perhaps some sort of taming of the ribbon tweeter itself. All you have to do is listen to this thing to experience the same paradigm-shifting astonishment that I first experienced so many years ago, when I discovered that a loudspeaker could not only sound “good,” it could also sound quite literally fool-you real." - Jonathan Valin

Performance

From the deepest bass to the finest treble, the Magnepan 30.7 delivers unparalleled accuracy and emotional impact. Its highly coherent wave-launch and free-standing imaging create a vast soundstage that immerses listeners in the music. The resolution of inner detail is phenomenal, bringing subtle textures and dynamics to life with effortless precision.

The 30.7 excels in reproducing acoustic instruments and voices, offering a level of naturalness that rivals live performances. Its transient response is lightning-fast, capturing the immediacy and energy of every note. Free from the constraints of box coloration and diffraction, the 30.7 achieves a level of transparency that is rarely matched in any speaker design.

"It’s as if the 30.7s unfurl an enormous patchwork quilt with each recording’s playback—the patterns are clear and present yet the entire whole into the space with all its detail displayed in high resolution. Human touches and crafted handiwork and individual styles, including idiosyncrasies and imperfections, are revealed. Breath buzzes through a clarinet reed. Textures are intact, tactile. Timbral color is as spot-on as what the recording captured. Blues feel blue. You can practically see the shine on brass instruments, sense the pluck or bowing of strings as if you could touch them. The quilt metaphor’s limitation is that (particularly on good recordings) you don’t sense sharply defined borders or edges to the sonic material at hand. The music simply fills the room in an immersive and thoroughly engaging soundscape." -Julie Mullins

Technology

At the heart of the Magnepan 30.7 is its advanced ribbon and quasi-ribbon technology. The true ribbon tweeter and quasi-ribbon midrange and bass drivers work together to produce a seamless and coherent sound signature. This combination ensures minimal distortion and an incredibly accurate reproduction of the source material.

The adjustable midbass control further enhances the speaker’s adaptability, allowing audiophiles to fine-tune the bass response for their specific listening environment. This thoughtful feature ensures that the 30.7 performs optimally in both large and small spaces.

"Magnepan’s 30.7 is in my view a landmark design—one that does all things well and some things (textural and transient nuances, three-dimensionality, and realistic image scale) extraordinarily well. While they are a lot to pay for any pair of loudspeakers, the fact is that the 30.7s deliver sound quality competitive with (and in some respects superior to) loudspeakers ranging from two to nearly ten times their price. This means the 30.7 is at once an expensive product that also offers exceptional value for money! If you have the chance, I urge you to hear Magnepan’s 30.7, if only to experience what a world-class loudspeaker system can really do." - Chris Martens
