Magnepan MG3.7i

With a sensitivity of 86dB and a 4-ohm impedance, these speakers perform best with a high-current amplifier. You will want an amp that is stable into low-impedance loads to ensure the ribbon drivers have enough power to maintain their speed and dynamic range.

Because they are dipole speakers that radiate sound from both the front and back, they require some distance from the front wall to develop a proper soundstage. We recommend placing them at least two to three feet away from the wall behind them for the best imaging results.

At 71 inches tall, the MG3.7i is a large panel speaker that moves a significant amount of air. While they can work in medium-sized rooms, they are designed to fill larger spaces and may sound overwhelming or bass-heavy in very compact environments.

The ultra-low mass of the ribbon drivers allows for an incredibly fast transient response, which results in high-definition clarity and a very natural, open sound. Unlike traditional box speakers, these panels provide a dipole radiation pattern that creates a spacious, immersive soundstage.

One of the key benefits of the MG3.7i is its wide sweet spot. The design offers exceptional imaging stability, meaning you will enjoy a coherent, detailed soundstage even if you are seated slightly off-axis.

These speakers cover a frequency range of 35Hz to 40kHz. This provides a deep, articulate bass response and extends well into the high-frequency range for detailed, airy treble reproduction.
