This pair of Magnepan 20.1’s was “custom-built.” They are100% unique and extraordinary.

 

“Peter Gunn” accomplished near total re-design and re-construction. "Peter Gunn" invented the highly acclaimed "Magnestand" modifications to Magneplanar speakers. ALL performance boosting technology that improves Magnepans is built into to this one-of-a-kind, pair.  I invite you to learn about (John’s) skilled work at "http://www.indiespinzone.com/magnestand"

 

How did this happen?

 

These are the only so meticulously modded 20.1's that exist. Structurally, visually and electronically. Once these sell you'll most likely never again see them for sale. That’s because Peter Gunn’s creations are seldom up for resale. Owners do not want to part with his speakers!

 

Construction – Rare and Stunning woods.

 

“Stock” 20.1’s are made of MDR - Medium-Density Fiberboard - an inexpensive engineered wood product. It is so dense and “hard” its rigidity excites resonances. That “design flaw” causes a subtle, disturbing degradation of potentially world-class sound and performance.

 

These speakers are 100% re-constructed with real (rare and visually stunning) wood that fully restores the 20.1’s ability to reproduce the most complex and demanding music, effortlessly.

Your listening experience is transformed into “involvement” beyond anything you can imagine.

 

The new frames are spalted maple and wenge. XO boxes are wenge with spalted tops. The speakers are 78" tall by 25" wide. The base reaches back about 16".

 

The units are rewired (including the newest XO copper foil Jupiter caps) to accept the shared series XO made famous by Peter Gunn’s mods.

 

Despite their size, the original power-hungry design is now truly “efficient” boosted to 92 dbl!

That higher efficiency makes for noticeably enhanced speaker performance and frees you up to many options to power them.

 

Maggies love and need power but if your amp can drive little 1.6's you can easily drive these - that also attach to any standard speaker cable.

 

 

Why this Sale?

 

 I love my music and I know what it should sound like. I’ve been into the hobby” for 50+ years.

 

These 20.1’s were so close to perfection yet little things bothered me! Then John (Peter Gunn) broke the news to me that my 20.1’s were simply overloading my dedicated listening room. Nothing could “fix” that but a larger room. Or smaller speakers.

 

So (reluctantly) I got smaller speakers - Magnestand modded 2.7’s (of course!) that I “love.”

(proviso): What you need to be Amazed

 

 

Your room should be about 30’ x 24’ to get the very best from these speakers. High ceilings are better, too. Your amp should at least 200 WPC and deliver current without balking. Please contact me or John at Magnestand for an evaluation of your situation if it is in question.

 

WHY BUY this Speaker System?

 

It does everything Magnepans are famous for that people love. Only far better. Sit anywhere in your room and enjoy them.  Bass is huge. Soundstage is massive. Despite their impressive size they are easy to drive.  Buff Books like The Absolute Sound heap unmatched praise on 20.1’s.

 

With these 20.1’s every sound has its own creation event. Listen into a recording and every nuance distinctly originates from its own creation point. Mids and highs match or better any electrostat. 

 

Seriously – as an audiophile for an awful lot of years, these one-off Magnepans may be the best and most musical speakers on the planet! You must have the room for them to play their absolute best. You will then reward yourself with a musical experience beyond anything you’ve ever experienced or have been moved by.

 

Shipping/Delivery?

 

Shipping?  They really can't be... not easily and expensive. If you live not an outrageous distance from PA, John can deliver and set them up for only his costs to get to you. If shipping is a must, the speakers go freight. You'll incur that cost plus a pelleting cost as well. Other parts (XO’s, struts, bases) ship UPS or FedEx. Large and heavy, they too will not be “cheap” to ship.
