Description
A fantastic opportunity to own and enjoy the world-renown Magnepan MG-3.7Xs, straight from the factory. They are beautiful. Their black fabric+beautiful dark cherry wood stiles (trim) are Magnepans richest and most attractive finish. They include the Premium X upgrade invoice from the factory, both mint condition metal and oval stands, High Quality OFC speaker cables 10-12 and a new shipping box that makes this the closest thing to a brand new pair of 3.7xs you will find on-line. While already considered a fantastic buy at its very modest $14,000 cost new when they have been compared to speakers costing 50K-100K, at $9988.00 its an outstanding value For the 3.7is specifications, details, and performance, prior to the X premium upgrade. Please check out the many online reviews that extol the exceptional 3.7is, including: http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/first-listen-magnepan-3.7i-loudspeakers it will give an idea of how much people praise these speakers and how much better they sound now with the premium X upgrade. Thank you for considering these wonderful 3.7Xs! Magnepan has been manufacturing innovative, world class stereo speakers for over 35 years since Jim Winey, the inventor of the Magneplanar loudspeakers, first owned electrostatic loudspeakers and began the process of experimenting to design an improved electrostat. In 1969, Jim invented the Magneplanar, a thin-film magnetic equivalent to the electrostat and started the company Magnepan. Magnepan manufactures top quality home speaker systems, surround sound speakers, loud speakers, home theater speakers, audio speakers, best stereo speakers and home theater systems available through dealers in the United States and Canada. We have the audio system to meet your surround sound and amplified home theater needs. Corporate and manufacturing facilities are located in White Bear Lake, Minnesota, a small community north of the Twin Cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis. Having outgrown its original facilities, Magnepans current plant is over 50,000 square feet in addition to corporate and engineering offices. While 35 years have passed since Jim first invented the revolutionary Magneplanar Speaker, each and every model is still designed by Jim, and to this date over 200,000 pairs of Magneplanar loudspeakers have found their way into the homes of music lovers the world over. The Premium 3.7x is the first model in our floor-standing lineup to incorporate our famous ribbon tweeter along with quasi-ribbon bass and mid-range drivers. As Jonathan Valin says Maggies three-way, true-ribbon /quasi-ribbon planar 3.7x successfully addresses three issues that have long plagued true-ribbon Maggies: the seamless integration of that ribbon; the retention of detail and dynamic range at relatively low volume levels; and the reduction of Maggie grain. The solution of these problems combined with the famous virtues of true-ribbon Magnepans produces what is, in J-Vs opinion, a best buy..... Experience Breath Taking Sound Quality with the Magnepans New 3.7Xs Floor Standing Speakers. These Beautifully designed speakers are made of high-quality materials in the USA. They boast a sleek black color fabric with Red Cherry Wood Stiles.These speakers have been fully factory upgraded from 3.7Is to 3.7Xs, making the sound Stage Sound like separate musical instruments. That can only be described as musical Nirvana. Once you hear them you will understand true musical bliss. With wired connections ( banana jacks preferred) for audio input, these speakers are perfect for Audiophiles and Home Audio Enthusiasts alike who want to enhance their music listening experience to the next level. The Premium MG 3.7X program++ The general idea is to take the existing design of a given speaker, and simply, almost one-for-one, replace all of the components leading up to the driver, with superior ones. This yields a noticeable, graph-able, and customer-awing improvement. Up to this point, every person who has received an “X” upgraded speaker, or even their unmarked predecessors and early partial upgrades and tests, has provided glowing reviews. Thus far the program has been unanimously well received across the board. There are certain model-specific features, but the MG---X Upgrade Program is at its core characterized by the following factors: Better Capacitors: All capacitors that aren’t already, are replaced with high quality, copper-rich, polypropylene capacitors [banks]. Each capacitor [and bank] used is individually tested to the hundredth such that left and right crossovers’ capacitances are within five hundredths. With the increased level of testing and decrease in tolerance, minor value tweaks are employed in some models resulting in fewer capacitors used and a smoother response overall. Better Coils (Inductors): All coils that aren’t already, are replaced with high-gauge, copper wire, air-core, bobbin wound coils [arrays]. Each coil [array] used is individually tested to the hundredth such that left and right crossovers’ inductances are within five hundredths. Model depended: with the above capacitance changes in mind, some values are minorly adjusted for smoother response overall. Better Wiring: All wiring (aside from the green (+) and yellow (-) wires for True Ribbon Tweeters) is replaced with 15ga or higher solid copper wire. Excess wire (for ease of assembly, for instance) is completely removed. Careful attention is paid to design, layout, and pathing of the crossover components such that wire lengths are short and the overall wire-mass is significantly reduced. Left and right crossover and nameplate impedances are ensured to be equivalent for ideal balance. Better Connections: All connections within the circuit, from the solder lug attached to the terminal screw on the nameplate, to the crossover board, to the driver terminal block, and back are soldered connections. Besides the terminal screw, solder lug, and jam nut connection on the nameplate, there are no mechanical connections used. It should be noted there is an article on the web, that say they still mechanical connections in this premium X upgrade program. Obviously they are misinformed. Better Inputs: All nameplate components are gold (99.99) rather than nickel. Appearance: The appearance of an MG___X is not intended to be visually really any different from that of its non-X counterpart (aside from the gold nameplate components in situations where that wouldn’t already be stock). The crossover of some models may be visible, such as with the MG1.7x, and as such that will be noticeably different in a side-by-side test. The nameplate will also have a small red “X” after the model to denote that it is a part of the X Upgrade program. DESCRIPTION & SPECIFICATIONS Freq.
