What HFL Thinks
Magneplanar MG 20.7 Speakers – At HFL we are really excited to be able to offer Magneplanar speakers to our customers, if you have never heard a ‘Maggie’ before then you really should come in for a listen as they are very different in their presentation compared to a conventional box speaker, they offer amazing clarity and insight into a recording as there is no cabinet to affect the sound, In the world of HiFi they are considered by many to be an absolute bargain especially when you hear the level of performance you get, so please pop in to HFL experience something a little different.
It had a modest beginning with the 1.7. (“Okay, that worked. Now, let’s try it with the 3.7.”) New ideas don’t necessarily have to start from the top and trickle down. In the case of the 20.7, it was “trickle-up”.
The Maggie 3.7 continues the tradition established by the venerable 3.6. The Absolute Sound reviewer Jacob Heilbrunn owned 20.1s for 10 years and went on the record to assert that the new 20.7 is the rightful heir to the 20.1.

Reviews:
Jonathon Valin, of the Absolute Sound magazine, is a demanding reviewer of super-expensive speakers. (For example, his critical CES coverage of $25,000 pair speakers (and up) in the April issue of The Absolute Sound.) The 20.7s got the same treatment. But, in the final analysis, he said in his blog on www.avguide.com–
“The listeners for whom the 20.7s are ideal—for whom Magneplanars have always been ideal—are absolute sound types. This Maggie’s magical ability to transport you to a different space and time and to there realistically recreate (with lifelike scope and size) the sound of actual acoustic instruments is extraordinary—and, of course, the very definition of the absolute sound. Indeed, the 20.7s come as close to achieving Harry Pearson’s goal of reproducing the sound of real instruments in real space as any speaker I’ve heard. I love ’em, but then I’ve loved and owned more Magneplanar speakers than those from any other manufacturer. If the sound absolute is what you crave (and you can live with the 20.7s’ sundry demands and peculiarities), Magnepan’s new flagships earn my highest and warmest recommendation. It almost goes without saying (since these are Maggies), but the 20.7s are also incredibly good values. Now hie thee forth and give them a long listen, and see if you don’t fall in love with them too.”
As Jacob Heilbrunn wrote in his review– ” I defy you to find [a speaker] at up to five times the cost with the scale and realism of the 20.7.” A day of your time to visit Magnepan could save you thousands of dollars.
