High-end Magneplanar sound, in a footprint that actually fits a normal room.
Herb Reichert of Stereophile said it "could image with the best speakers ever" within minutes of listening.
Awards: CNET Audiophiliac Speaker of the Year (2015)
Not every listener has the space — or the budget — for Magnepan's larger floorstanders, and the .7 exists as an in-house favorite specifically because it doesn't ask you to sacrifice much to get there. It's a 2-way quasi-ribbon design that delivers genuinely world-class imaging and detail in a slim, space-conscious cabinet, without watering down what makes a Magneplanar a Magneplanar in the first place.
What surprises most new listeners is just how quickly it reveals itself: within minutes of hearing a well set-up pair, the imaging alone tends to rival speakers that cost significantly more. That's backed up by real critical recognition — CNET named it a speaker of the year, and Stereophile's Herb Reichert praised how fundamentally correct design choices reveal musical truths to a wide range of listeners, truths he notes never go out of fashion. It's proof that Magnepan's core technology scales down without losing its identity.
If your room or your budget has kept you out of the Maggie lineup, this is the speaker built to change that.
