Magneplanars provide unique styling not available in box speakers. With optional trim and fabrics, Magneplanar Screens can blend or contrast with the surrounding decor, thus forming a backdrop in the same manner as curtains or drapes. With Magneplanars you have the ability to add a pair of speakers to your living area without adding the visual "weight" of box speakers. Magneplanars are easily moved for vacuuming or repositioning to other listening areas.
Magneplanar MG-IIc (and MG-Ic), these models are of similar design , both representing excellent value. The MG-IIC is one foot taller than the MG-Ic, providing better vertical dispersion and extension of the frequency extremes. Both models appeal to a wide range of listening tastes. For the classical music enthusiast, the critical midrange of the MG-IIc is often the speaker of choice. Having been introduced in their original versions many years ago, these speakers have benefited from years of gradual refinements.
They highlight Magnepan's belief that there should be no change for the sake of change. Improvements over earlier versions include a reduction in diaphragm mass, refinements in magnetic structure, improved crossover design, more rigid panel construction, inclusion of bi-amplification option, and improved diaphragm mass distortion.
Both models are worthy of the finest ancillary equipment and source material, and are remarkable in their respective price ranges.
