They do have some competition in Europe from Analysis and here from Gilmore, though their ribbon is not stretched membrane like ET BG & Maggies and their bass are dipole cones.

Spouse Approval Factor...(The politically correct version of WAF...)
The SAF for 1.7 - 20.7 may have the most influence on sales then any competition....My lovely pair came from gentleman in KY/worked in WV, where they shipped from, whose wife and daughter said they are too big, too ugly and blocked the screen from the side...the only reason he was selling them...bummer for him...
Dynaudio C2's were the 3.7 replacements...nice, but also quite a bit more money...
So, riddle me this...what would a Stereophile set of tests tell the world about the Magnepan design in the .7 era??? From what I can remember, I thought it had to do with their dispersion characteristics??? But really not sure...
thanks

They would do the standard FR at a couple of distances and for each driver, dispersion plot, and waterfall plot and impulse response.
They would show the resonance tuning freq. what changed with the waterfall plot, which might clue someone as to what kind of improvement was made in the transition from one model to the next.
Their new XO might have a twist to it that we aren't aware of.
