What I read about the new Magnepan MG 1.7 speakers indicates that they not only use new technology, but they may be the best sounding Maggies yet - and a true bargain to boot. I think I'll try to get a pair when they become available.
Jonathan Valin surely thinks they are superb.

It sounds like this one will be a real winner.
