Legendary Magnepan 3.7i Speakers (pair) in mint conditionTwo down below from the $30,000 top of the line versionsRetail Price $8,795.00 Trim: Silver Aluminum, Black Fabric 1 year old, Original audiophile owner. These speakers have been setup once, in the current location, and have not been moved since. I have all original packing material for re-boxing for the new owner. Note: this the current model offered by Magnepan. The 3.7, 3.6 and other models of that type could be 10, 20 years old or more. This is the current new model, the 3.7i. These are the best speakers I’ve owned in my life. They are, literally, perfect. Not just cosmetically and functionally, but there’s nothing more I could desire from listening. In fact, after I bought these, I lamented that I had not purchased these decades earlier, so I could have had so many more year of listening enjoyment. With these speakers, a listening evening at home provided the same “experience payoff” of a night out on the town, meaning – my lovely companion and I would later discuss the evening spent listening the same way we would have to have gone to a concert or a meal at a 3-star restaurant. It made the evening so memorable, we’d reference it a full week later, and still comment about remarkable things we noticed during a particular song or passage. These speakers really are this good, and they have a wide-enough sound stage spread so there is not a single-chair listening “hot spot,” there was more than enough soundstage for two on the sofa. Close your eyes and you had a wall of sound, with instruments imaged so delicately and cleanly that you swear you’re in the studio, or in a live venue. Honestly, I have never heard anything like these. Why am I selling them? I am moving, and while I have a room acoustically perfect for these speakers, I am going to temporarily move in with an elderly relative, who has Alzheimer’s, to help her for a while. I can’t set the speakers up there, so I’ll need to store them, and I don’t want the worry (or expense) of a perfectly temperature-controlled and moisture-controlled storage facility. If they were in storage, Id literally worry about these speakers every day, so I decided to sell these and then buy another (exact) pair when I am finished helping my relative. Overview: Magnepan 3.7i True 3-way dipole speaker: The 3.7i is the first model in the Magnepan floor-standing lineup to incorporate their world-famous ribbon tweeter along with quasi-ribbon bass and midrange drivers. As Jonathan Valin says Maggies three-way, true-ribbon /quasi-ribbon planar 3.7i 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 JVs opinion, a best buy..... Prepare to see into your music in a way you’ve never been able to; a way that produces gasps of astonishment at the clarity, presence and “you are there” characteristics that no other speaker in the world will give you.

While I heartily encourage everyone to hear Magnepans, and even purchase them, I cannot demo these speakers for people who have never before heard Magnepans, and are simply curious. Serious buyers can audition them, as well as inspect, but please: no listening sessions born of curiosity (although again, if you can, find a pair elsewhere to listen to and fall in love). Also, you need lots of clean, high-current Class AB power to drive these speakers. That kind of power doesn’t make them loud, it makes them clean. I was using 450 watts @ 4 ohms. I do not recommend Class D amps to drive these, per the manufacturers recommendations. I can provide a list of recommended amplifiers, should the buyer request it. ShippingThese speakers require significant shipping effort: They were delivered and came off of a genuine 18-wheeler truck. I prefer pickup only, or perhaps personal delivery, but only as follows. Fedex wont ship - theyre too large and too many boxes (tweeter ribbon ships separately). I prefer someone buying them and either picking them up, or Im willing to drive them up to 3 hours from St. Louis (180 miles). If the buyer does the same, then thats a buyer radius of 360 miles, or from St. Louis to Chicago, Milwaukee, almost all of Iowa, Omaha, Kansas City, Wichita, Tulsa, Springfield MO, Memphis, Nashville, Louisville, Cincinnati, Dayton, Ft. Wayne IN, Indianapolis.
