For sure Mark. Magnepan has under estimated the need for a decent tweeter. We know that big panels are needed for good bass but we also know how to get a good subwoofer system working. Give us the panels we need.

I agree completely. The ribbon they used to put in the 2.5 and 2.6 would be perfect - covered nearly 5 octaves and sounded great. Plus subwoofers are better now with inexpensive and easy to use room correction from DSPeaker and others etc.
When I first bought Maggies in the mid-90's, at the dealers I asked..."is there a smaller model with the true ribbon???"
Besides the obvious WAF factor...and knowing the MMG and now former MG 12 are there most popular models world wide...because not everyone has the room for the bigger Maggies, (1.7-20.7)...
Now I thought, it might be a function of bass panel to tweeter or something like that...BUT...they came out with the MINI System and Marketed as a 3.7 for your desk??!!??
Why can't come out with something mid-sized with a true ribbon???
IMHO to could become their most popular model, worldwide...
Just really puzzles me...
thanks

Two super MMG sized panels with a true ribbon, and two DWMs
For FIFTY YEARS their standard line is 'bigger panels are better'.
Don't know if it's still on there but the webpage used to flat out say 'Buy the biggest panel you can afford, don't worry about the room, you can fix that later'.
So... a better speaker that isn't also bigger... flies in the face of their religion.

You are correct...they do preach that...
but this would sell, could have a greater profit margin and still be a good value...
thanks

The new issue of the absolute sound has a full page ad showing the .7 speakers.
