Just got off the phone with Magnepan marketing and the new model that was seen at CES is an upgrade of an MC1 with a new midrange panel and a Quasi Ribbon Supper Tweeter. The rep told me it will have both better highs and midrange than a 1.6 but will have much less bass due to the on wall mounting. They are releasing a complimenting woofer that goes down to 40hz. They are in production now and will be shipping in approximately. 3 months!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cost on them is 1,500 a pair and 900 for the sub. This should be exciting!!! I got so excited about the speakers I forgot to ask about the ribbon center channel.
