New Magnepan 1.7 R


Did anyone else see the CNET article about the new Maggie's? It's a true ribbon 2 way speaker, wow. I had not heard anything about these anywhere before, or seen them at a show. Was the whole mini Maggie testing last year really about these?

I may have to break down and try these.

Any thoughts, or better yet, anyone on here who actully heard/saw them during the testing??

I've always been amazed by the design of the Maggie speakers. I would actually like to try a pair but I am not sure of placement issues.

The Maggie website indicates that you can place them in the same locations as any other speaker but that doesn't seem to be the opinion of anyone on Audiogon.

I presently have one speaker placed near a sofa. The front of the speakers are about three feet from the rear walls. The side wall is about thirty inches from the speaker near the sofa.

Would these real world living conditions work with the Maggies? Also, my room is about 24 x 15 x 8.
Plato, That was my reasoning also. The info on the Maggie website contradicts this reasoning. Thanks.
