Magnepan 30.7x Planar Magnetic Floorstanding Loudspeakers; pair

The Magnepan 30.7x represents the next level of refinement for Magnepan’s flagship 30.7 speakers, combining the same celebrated four-panel, four-way ribbon/quasi-ribbon design with the meticulous enhancements of the X upgrade series. By focusing on simplification, superior component quality, and precise balancing, the 30.7x achieves an even more immersive and lifelike listening experience while maintaining the original’s hallmark performance.

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: Features 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.

Design and Build

The 30.7x retains the striking presence of the original 30.7 while incorporating critical enhancements from the X upgrade line. Each of the four panels—two per side—has been re-engineered with better materials and meticulous attention to detail.

• 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.

Performance

The Magnepan 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 seamless and immersive experience.

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’ rigorous 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 exceptional performance and durability.

These advancements allow the 30.7x to deliver improved imaging, sound-staging, and overall fidelity, making it a standout in the world of ultra-high-end audio.
