Magnepan Center Channel Speaker

Magneplanar CCR was designed as a companion center channel speaker for the MG 20.1. The same or similar technology was used for the CCR with a true ribbon tweeter and quasi ribbon midrange. Magnepan’s solution is to employ all three speakers (front left, center and right) to work together to create the illusion of a large Maggie in the center. Most ribbon and electrostatic speaker companies employ a dynamic midbass coupler to cover the range between the subwoofer and the ribbon or electrostatic driver. In our opinion, that is an unacceptable compromise for the most important speaker in the home theater system. The Magnepan solution requires more effort for the setup, but the end result is worth it. The CCR has curved true ribbon of the same design as the 20.1 or 3.6. The curved quasi ribbon midrange is a similar design to the midrange of the 20.1 with 213 square inches of radiating area. Because home theater places greater demands on the center channel speaker, the CCR was designed for higher efficiency.
