{"product_id":"magnepan-x-program-custom-projects","title":"Magnepan X Program Custom Projects","description":"\u003cp\u003eMagnepan X Program Custom Projects are how you commission a Magnepan that is not in the catalog. Magnepan's X program builds custom speakers, and Mike Hoatson works with Magnepan directly to bring a customer's design to the build. A custom build is priced up from the X Series model it starts from, and the final number depends on the build, so this listing starts a conversation rather than a checkout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features of Magnepan X Program Custom Projects\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt by Magnepan's X program:\u003c\/strong\u003e the same program behind the Magnepan X Series, open to custom work.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExternal crossover:\u003c\/strong\u003e one of the easier custom requests.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBi-ampable speaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e also on the list of straightforward changes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCustom trim:\u003c\/strong\u003e trim made to your spec instead of picked from the standard options.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMike as your point of contact:\u003c\/strong\u003e he works with Magnepan directly on your behalf.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePriced up from X Series:\u003c\/strong\u003e custom work carries the full quality control and R\u0026amp;D load, and the price reflects it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat can the Magnepan X program build?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe easy requests are an external crossover, a bi-ampable speaker and totally custom trim. All of that is possible if you are willing to spend the money. Past those, the X program is open to building what you have in mind, the way a guitar maker's custom shop builds what is not on the rack. If you have a dream speaker that Magnepan does not make, this is the way to get it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does a custom Magnepan cost more than an X model?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA custom project goes through the same quality control and R\u0026amp;D as a speaker Magnepan designs hoping to sell thousands of. Apply all that effort to one pair or ten pairs of speakers and the cost per unit goes up. Mike is upfront about it: this is not cheap, and a custom build costs more than the X Series model it starts from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do you start a Magnepan X Program Custom Project?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse the button above, or call or text Mike at 410-239-2020.

Every project is custom built to order in White Bear Lake, MN, and lead time is approximately 5-8 weeks from order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\n.tlr-cmp{margin:10px 0 16px;}\n.tlr-cmp
