Description from the seller

Set Magnat Magnasphere Gamma - High-End Vintage Omnidirectional Speakers (1986-1989)

Description:
For sale: a rare and highly sought-after set Magnat Magnasphere Gamma loudspeakers. A prime example of German hi-fi engineering from the golden age of audio.
The unique 360-degree concept of the Magnasphere series was developed by Magnat from the philosophy of their famous plasma tweeters: creating a completely free, massless and spatial sound image. In the Gamma, this has been translated into a highly reliable and innovative dual aluminum dome construction. For clarity, these Gamma speakers are not plasma radiators.

Thanks to the iconic Magnasphere technology, high and mid frequencies are radiated around in space (omnidirectional), which results in an incredibly spacious, transparent and 3D-like sound image. The instruments seem to float in the room.

Features & Highlights:
Durable construction: Equipped with rubber butyl edges on the woofers and mid-range drivers. These never dry out, unlike foam edges.
Tweedert Technology: Aluminum soft-metal domes with flat-wound voice coils for unparalleled precision in the highs.
Design: Sleek pyramid-like shape combined with perforated metal grilles.

Condition of the item:
Visual: In good condition with light signs of use consistent with age, 1 dome tweeter is damaged, see photo.
Technical: Fully operational / 100% working. Original drivers and excellent sound reproduction.
Update: installed banana plug connections.

Specifications:
System: 4-way passive
Power: 140W RMS / 200W Max
Impedance: 4 Ohm
Frequency range: 28 – 34,000 Hz
Dimensions: 109 x 32 x 32 cm
Weight: approx. 23 kg per speaker

Shipping / Pickup:
Because it is 2 cabinets of 22-23 kg each (total >50 kg packing), shipping can be in two separate boxes or internationally by pallet, “Pick-up preferred” (pickup).
If shipping: the delicate top surfaces are packed separately.
