Magnepan 3.7i/3.7/3.6/3.5 Magna Riser Ascension Stands w/cryogenically treated replacement jumper wires are aviailable for immediate purchase (see owners comments at the end of this listing)


We create Magna Risers because we love the sound of Magnepans but realize that the factory builds each model to a price point, even the more upscale 3 series.

We offer our Ascension Stands for those who good is not enough

and who want their Magnepans to more fully realize their potential.

Magna Risers are limited edition designs produced by Magnepan owners with a love for Magnepans; for other Magnepan owners. We are singular in focus- we only build stands for Magnepans and will only offer designs we ourselves would be glad to live with in our own homes.

The 3 series Ascension Stands benefit from years of development of the Magna 
Riser line where dozens of prototypes were tested until the design met our 
demanding standards. We are passionate about great sound and even more about 
our love of music. If a design does not help connect us more with the musicians 
and move us more into the music we will not make it available regardless how attractive the look.

Our istening sessions confirmed our impression that the solid jumper bars supplied from the factory do not allow your speaker to realize as much of their potential as possible. We include a pair of our proprietary cryogenically treated jumper replacement wires with each set of Magna Risers. These wires are burned in and oriented for optimal directionality. Even though a short length we can hear the difference properly directionally orienting the jumper makes and there are sonic gains.

Magna Risers are the result of intentional design choices and extensive R&D. We listened to many combinations of types of metals, metal gauges, and combinations of metals until we found a blend that allowed the speaker to more fully realize their intrinsic capabilities while not favoring any one frequency band. This combination of critically selected elements allow the Ascension Stand to cross new performance thresholds. 

Each set is sent out to a commercial metal finisher and undergoes multiple in house prep stages and five additional prep stages at our coater before finishing. The powder coat process is durable and costly but the end results are worth the extra effort. Our metals finisher creates near art like grand piano like high gloss black finishes that enhance the look of your speakers.

We dedicatedly make high performance stands that really improve the sound of your Magnepans but in the end we feel the buyer is the best judge of how an audio product impacts the sound they hear and that is why we offer a money back guarantee.

Sonic gains have been heard by almost every owner and no pair of this design has ever been returned even though every set is sold with a money back guarantee. If you are not satisfied with your purchase you can return the stands in the original shipping box for a full refund if you notify us of your intent to return them within 7 days of taking delivery and agree to pay for the return shipping costs.

Your purchase includes installation instructions, a speaker placement tutorial and subwoofer integration guide, all needed mounting hardware and one pair of cryogenically treated replacement jumper wires.

Shipping is normally within 24 hrs. of notification from PayPal of receipt of payment. Shipping is in a sturdy box and all parts are securely wrapped to protect your purchase. Shipment is via the US Postal Service or Fed Ex. A signature is required upon delivery to safeguard your purchase to prevent the loss of your stands from theft when packages are left outside your front door. Shipment is limited to the lower US 48. 

Magna Risers are limited production semi-custom designs. They are offered as much as anything as a way of sharing the sonic discoveries we have made. The performance gains owners hear seem fairly uniform-improvements in inner detailing, image focus, transparency, sound staging and overall realism. Bass and high frequencies are often noted as areas of improvement with more authoritative, extended and detailed bass and refined highs being noted.

You can purchase with confidence- we have outstanding after sale customer support and have great feedback on Audiogon/ eBay and US Audiomart. Best of all- our customers hear the same performance gains we hear in our R&D process. A list of owner feedback/comments is available upon request. 

Thank you for considering Magna Risers. (Please note that it is only one set of Magna Riser stands that are being offered for sale- the speakers are not included.)

Rececent owner comments:

"I couldn't imagine how this design could be improved on by any worthwhile measure. The increase in dynamics and imagining far exceeds what I had hoped for. I would highly recommend your Magna Riser stands to anyone who wants to get the most out of their Maggie's ." Three Series Ascension Stand owner-3.5-3.6-3.7/3.7i series

"Preliminary report on the effect of the Risers:  clearly effective.  So far the 2 things that I notice are 1) more detail in the presentation:  I hear more of a coherent image of the instruments and their position, especially depth, in the sound stage.  2) and this is the more important, there is a change in timing--that is, I can hear subtle aspects of the rhythm and timing of entry (of say, voice) of info.  And in a way, its also timing that makes the contact of the drum stick on the snare head clearer--much more defined transients. "(Multi Riser Mk5 .7 owner)

"these stands are incredible!!! They have taken my Maggie's to a level that, quite frankly, I just didn't expect. I had to lower the gain on my Klipsch subwoofers because of the much improved bass response from the Magnepans... Everything became more natural sounding...Everything from plucked acoustic bass to guitar notes that float in the air. The imagining is spot on also. Anyone who owns a pair of Magnepan speakers owes it their ears to replace the factory stands with your Magna Riser stands. The difference is not subtle! I consider these stands as a component upgrade rather than a tweak." (Three series Ascension Stand owner)

“The Ascension Stands were an unexpected surprise. I was not expecting to hear that much of a difference in sound”  Magnepan MG 3.5 owner

Please note that the normal price for this stand set is $279.50 but the price has been adjusted because this set has been used as a demonstrator and has a small cosmetic blemish in the finish on an inside upper edge of one riser that will never be seen when listening because it is on the back side of the speaker and is just a slight imperfection in the powder coating.

Questions for the seller
My friends and I have 7 sets of Magnepans between us. Do you build for SMGC/MG12
We build three different models for the SMGc, MMG and MG 12 and have wonderfully suppotive comments from owners. Our Multi Riser Mk 4a offers great sonics and our Airborne stands offer a stealthy unique look and excellent sonics. All three designs offer significant gains in stability.
Robert Yes - please order. How do I pay you? Thanks in advance. Bill
Bill, This is my third attempt to respond I have been struggling with Audiogon's messaging. Thank you for your order for the Magna Riser 1.7 stands. I will begin the build process machining, sizing and preping and hope to have them ready to take over to our commercial powder coater for finishing early next week. The caoter can take anywhere from 10 business days to close to three weeks which is beyond my control. No payment is due until your stands are ready for shipment at which time the stands will be listed on Audiogon at an agreed upon time for you to make your purchase. Payment is via PayPal. Please review the current ad Magna Riser ad on Audiogon for terms. Shipping to the lower 48 is typically under $29. Our 1.7 design has a similar look to the 3.7 and has gotten great reviews from owners-many of whom opt to turn off their subwoofers or lower subwoofer settings because of the added sense of bass authority and perceived extension. Owners also note gains in soundstaging, image focus, transparency, detailing and dynamics. They are special designs that help owners connect more with the music they love. All are sold on a money back basis and with hundreds in owners homes no one has opted to return a set. One owner found himself listening late into the night, night after night after installing his new Magna Risers. He loved female vocalists and one night as his wife turned in for bed she said smiling knowing he would listen again late into the night rediscovering some of his favorite records and asked; "and what woman will you be spending the night with tonight?". I will keep you updated on your stands build progress. Please let me know if the sales terms are acceptable. Sincerely, Rob
Rob More than acceptable to say the very least. My 1.7i’s are at least a week away. Stay in touch - I like the way you conduct your business. Thanks. Bill.
Bill, I prefer that owners of new speakers have time to break in their speakers before mounting their Magna Risers. I think it allows you to more clearly hear the sonic upgrade which is quickly recognizable even after a few short minutes. In this case waiting circumvents the changes the speakers go through as they break in. You are buying a wonderful speaker. I think you will find the Magna Riser a very worthwhile upgrade. They really do allow the speakers to more fully realize their sonic potential which is quite a bit more than what the factory stands provide. Again you are the judge and jury here...if you are not happy with the purchase you can return them for a refund. Thanks again, Rob
