Magnepan Magneplanar thin film towers

model # MG-.5 QR

predecessor to the more common MG12.

in excellent condition!

Guaranteed the most transparent, airy sound in the thinnest panel. As you know, they are one of the most highly regarded audiophile speakers under $5,000. my asking price is $600 plus shipping firm. If I don't have interest here, they're going to feebay.

I used ebay to price these. the last pair, 2 models down from these, sold for around 600, so I think this price is cheap. these were over $2,000 new.

about 20 inches wide and over 50 inches tall yet 1.75 inches deep!

rated at 50-250 watts RMS! they take power no problem.

they are also bi-ampable.

PM me, I hang around the car audio forums more.

vibrating film instead of conventional cone. tweeter is 1.5" by 40" ribbon.

It also has a bass radiating area of 420 square inches. response is 45HZ-26khz +- 3 DB

impedence is 4 ohms and they are 75 pounds together.

I have the original manual and sales catalog.

crossover system: acoustical: lowpass --quasi 12db/octave @1,000HZ

highpass --6db/octave @ 800 Hz

System description: "two-way full range quasi ribbon/planar-magnetic dipole radiator"

this info is all straight from the manual.

Yes, they are heavier than they look. Almost the entire mylar diaphragm is backed with magnets. They have an incredible "sound" that is hard to describe. I've owned many over that years and always go back to them for two-channel music.
