The .7x is the factory X version of the .7. The panel, size and two-way quasi-ribbon layout are unchanged. What changes is the crossover and wiring: copper-rich polypropylene capacitors and Magnepan-wound air-core coils, each tested and sorted so the left and right speakers match, heavier solid-copper wiring with shorter runs, and silver-soldered connections throughout. X versions also offer extra stile finishes.

The .7x needs the same care as the .7: a powerful, high-current amplifier for its 4 Ω load, about 3 feet free behind each panel to start, and toe-in toward the listening seat. Bought new from a certified dealer, it carries Magnepan's 3-year limited warranty.

Key technologies

  • Matched crossover capacitors. Copper-rich polypropylene capacitors, individually tested and sorted so left and right match closely.
  • Magnepan-wound coils. Air-core copper coils wound in-house, tested and paired.
  • Heavier, shorter wiring. 15-gauge or heavier solid copper bus wire, with excess runs removed.
  • Silver-soldered connections. Mechanical connections are kept to a minimum; nameplate parts are gilded.
  • Same panel. Identical size and shape to the standard model, so placement advice carries over.

Finishes

  • Dark Cherry wood stile
  • Natural Oak wood stile
  • Black Aluminum aluminum stile
  • Silver Aluminum aluminum stile
  • Gold Aluminum aluminum stile
  • Red Aluminum aluminum stile
  • Black Wood wood stile

The stile is the frame trim; Red Aluminum and Black Wood are X-only options. Fabric: Black, Grey, Off White or Cherry White. Photos show the standard .7; the .7x is the same size and shape.
