MMG: The Lowest-Priced Planar/Ribbon Speaker in the World

We'll tell you right up front--- The 3 MMG models we offer with a 60-day money back guarantee are the marketing equivalent of those tasty little morsels handed out in high-end grocery stores. You won't see many Magneplanar ads in audio magazines. They are expensive and they are not as effective as they were 40 years ago. And you won't see Magneplanars at Best Buy or other "big box" stores.

We had a better idea. Now, most consumers do their research on the internet. That's probably how you found us. Or from one of our thousands of happy customers. This MMG, 60-day, money-back guarantee "appetizer" concept has proven more successful than any other marketing idea. Only a very small percentage of customers return their MMG models because they didn't like them. And most eventually move up to our better models. So, warning is fair, you might get "hooked".

In your search to improve your music or home theater system have you noticed how little box speakers tend to sound rather ... well, boxy? We would like to introduce you to a new concept in speaker technology. Actually, it has been around for 40 years ... mostly sought out by dedicated audiophiles. Advertising has been primarily by "word-of-mouth."

Live music creates large area soundwaves having characteristics that can't be duplicated by little box speakers. Soundwaves emanating from live music help us determine "is it 'live' or is it a speaker?" Reproducing large area soundwaves requires a speaker with a large surface area. The Magneplanar MMG with the equivalent surface area of 72, 1 -inch dome tweeters, and 9, 8-inch woofers does this better than speakers costing several times the MMG's modest $599/pair price tag.

As Dick Olsher of Stereophile magazine asserts, The impossible problem for a conventional speaker, then, is this: how to convince you it's a grand piano when the instrument's full acoustic power is being squeezed through an 8" woofer. When I close my eyes and try to conjure up an image size, a planar speaker reproduces piano, double-bass, cello and human voice with much more spatial conviction than is possible with a conventional dynamic speaker. It's true--a planar makes a recorded piano sound more like a real piano.

Magnepan is the most successful manufacturer of full-range dipole loudspeakers in the world.

Nearly 200,000 of these speakers have been purchased by audiophiles ... audiophiles such as those taking part in the last speaker survey conducted by Stereophile magazine which revealed more of their readers owned Magneplanars than any other brand, and 99% were satisfied with their purchase.

Because of this success and the economy that comes from manufacturing large numbers of speakers, the Magneplanar MMG at $599 pair is affordable and available to everyone.

Order directly from Magnepan by calling 1-800-474-1646.

Other larger, more expensive models are available through a small nationwide network of specialty audio dealers.

We know you may have doubts about an entirely new way of reproducing sound.

If you are like most of us, a completely new idea will intrigue you as well as raise questions ... how can a speaker only 3/4 inch thick possibly work ... is there a downside to this approach?

To answer these questions and many more, the Magnepan 60 day satisfaction guarantee is a chance for you to experience ... first hand... what this new technology can do for your audio/video system ... in your home ... at your leisure.

If you want to climb to an even higher level of performance, you can move up to a better model at a Magneplanar dealer in your area for up to a year.

Depending on the model you purchase, you can receive up to full credit from Magnepan for your MMGs.
