Magnepan has been manufacturing innovative, world-class stereo loudspeakers for 47 years. Jim Winey, the inventor of the Magneplanar loudspeaker, first owned electrostatic loudspeakers and began experimenting to design an improved electrostatic loudspeaker. In 1969, Jim invented the Magneplanar, a thin-film magnetic equivalent to the electrostatic and founded Magnepan. The corporate and manufacturing facilities are located in White Bear Lake, Minnesota, a small community north of the Twin Cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis. To date, over 200,000 pairs of Magneplanar loudspeakers have found their way into the homes of music lovers worldwide. Magneplanars are manufactured in the U.S.A. with virtually all American parts. And we are proud to say – "Made in America. Sold in China."
