Looks like a new Magnepan speaker is coming!!!

A poor man's Martin Logan??...........................lol

When my husband bought his first set of magnepans our landlord walked in and thought they were solar panels lol..anyone hear of Goldmund Dialogues?

Ah, $29K; they are moving toward Vandersteen territory, breaking out of the pure value play. They may, and I say that cautiously as there is no certainty as to the innards, be finally building a true extreme speaker. 

@josh358...THANKS for the info! Much appreciated.

I was expecting around $24K.  $29,000 is a chunk of change.

There's an early review up at TAS now, and it's a rave:

Mitch, all black so your wife doesn't notice them? :-)

Mofimadness, several people asked whether the panels would be separately so I asked Magnepan and they told me that for several reasons it wasn't practical. Also, according to TAS, they use 6 dB/octave crossovers and don't have a separate crossover box.

Ah, well, back to scratching off lottery tickets . . .

To Audioman58,  anyone in the Phoenix Az. metro area do these mods that ur aware of?

These are for dedicated listening rooms only.

How many audiophiles have a room large enough to optimally set these up?

ZERO WAF. No one is going to get those giant things in the living room past their wife.

I’m getting a set in all-black.

people have been asking them to bring back the Tympani and it seems they listened!

I am officially jealous...

I have owned several maggi, sizes and  why cant they make a completed Spesker
They all ways have cheap resistors, and capacitors, as well as wiring. I always upgraded the caps and resistors to start with Quality  a $70 cap not $7
And munforf ,mills or Duelund resistor , as well as fuses. And why must you always have yo buy a me stand in a $5or $10k+ Loudspeaker. A Se option 
To be right would be a instant success .  Just look at the Magnestand mods in Pa.
I have been doing my own mods for years and it is just shocking when you know 
From your customers all the weaknesses .from decade to decade and just keep 
Doing the same old thing . Most people Donot,or cannot upgrade their speakers. 
A totally hotrodded model from say a 1.7 on up not only makes a lot of sense 
But would generate s lot of sales ,and make a Lot of Maggi owners Very happy. 

Magnepan has changed to a different glue. The delamination problems of the past are just that.

they will now last 20 years at least

I love Maggies.....except they don't last long.  They self-delaminate after a few years....(5 or so)   Maybe the brand new ones are using a different Dupont(?) product...I would hope.

i would just want to buy the Bass panels.

That would be a excellent way to add more bass to existing Maggie setups. If they could be used with other speakers, I wonder if Magnepan will offer them separately?

Also, they haven't said or showed how the panels hookup.  Maybe an external crossover, or someway the mid/tweet panels wire into the bass panels.  Will be interesting to see how they have done it.

for when Sound Lab speakers look too small in your room...

- I'm glad they are making them tho 

 i would just want to buy the Bass panels.  

Yup ;-). My T-IVa have the two bass panels hinged together, with the tweeter/midrange panel separate. The current MG20.7 is around the same price as the Sanders ESL, and that is a tough choice, they're both great speakers imo.

Looks like a modern version of the old Tympani-IVa

"Unhinged"  :-)

Thoughts on the Sanders 10e speaker that's around the same price point? Haven't heard it but Greene just did a review in the latest TAS which was a rave.

Looks like a modern version of the old Tympani-IVa. Should sound killer!

Yep, that's all the working class hero needs is another high priced giraffe sized Loudspeaker...............lol
Shame Magnepan were not at the RMAF this year to show their new $650 MMGi Loudspeaker.

If so, it's one of the smartest moves they have made. However, their reputation as an affordable speaker company is on the line. ;) I would guess the MSRP about $20K. 

Now they really need to start considering a small form factor version of this for the Mini Mag.  ;)
