Magnat Signature 905 Floorstanding Speaker
2 400,00 €
Magnat Signature 905 is a 3.5-way floorstanding speaker for a home audio system. It features a bass-reflex enclosure and a dual-bass configuration. The specified frequency range extends from 23 to 55,000 Hz. Its 93 dB sensitivity helps it achieve the required listening level at the stated 2.8 V measurement voltage. The speaker handles 190 W RMS and up to 340 W maximum power.
Magnat Signature 905 speaker is a 3.5-way floorstanding model for a home audio system. It uses a bass-reflex enclosure and a dual-bass configuration. The specified frequency range extends from 23 to 55,000 Hz. When planning its position, use the full dimensions including spikes-300 × 1,060 × 370 mm-and allow additional space for the cable and clearance from the wall.
Who is this floorstanding speaker for?
This model suits systems that require a wide frequency range without separate stands for bookshelf speakers. Its 93 dB sensitivity is specified at an input of 2.8 V and a measuring distance of one metre. This figure helps indicate the achievable volume at the stated measurement voltage.
The 190 W RMS power rating describes the speaker’s continuous power handling, while 340 W is the stated maximum power. These figures should not be confused with the amplifier’s volume-control position. The final listening level will also depend on the room, listening distance, and the dynamic range of the recording.
Drivers and frequency distribution
The low and midrange frequencies are reproduced by a 6.5-inch bass/midrange driver. It is complemented by a separate 6.5-inch bass driver. This dual-bass arrangement divides different duties between the two drivers housed in the enclosure.
High frequencies are handled by a 1.2-inch dome tweeter. A 0.75-inch super tweeter covers the uppermost part of the specified range. The signal is divided at crossover frequencies of 320 Hz, 2,400 Hz, and 17,500 Hz.
The bass-reflex design uses an enclosure port to support low-frequency reproduction. Its effect depends on the speaker’s distance from surrounding walls. Bass may become stronger when the cabinet is placed closer to a wall, so it is worth choosing the final position by listening to familiar recordings.
Amplifier selection and connection
The recommended amplifier output is more than 30 W. Choose an amplifier designed to operate reliably with a 4-8 ohm load. A maximum-power figure alone does not show how effectively an amplifier will control the speaker at higher listening levels.
When connecting the speaker to an amplifier, maintain matching polarity across both channels. Reversed polarity on one channel can weaken the central stereo image and reduce bass summation. Select the speaker-cable length according to the actual distance from each speaker to the amplifier.
Positioning in the room
The cabinet measures 225 × 1,010 × 352 mm (W × H × D), while the overall dimensions with spikes are 300 × 1,060 × 370 mm (W × H × D). Use the overall measurements when calculating the required floor space, and leave room for the cable and suitable clearance from the wall. As a starting point, place both speakers at similar distances from the side and rear walls.
After the first listening session, adjust the distance from the wall and the toe-in towards the listening position in small steps. This allows you to balance bass quantity and high-frequency directionality for the particular room.

FAQ
Which amplifier should I choose?
More than 30 W is only the stated lower limit for the recommended amplifier output. No upper recommended output is provided, so it should not simply be treated as equivalent to the speaker’s 340 W maximum power handling.
How should I connect both speakers?
Keep the positive and negative conductor polarity consistent on both channels. Correct polarity is important for a coherent central stereo image and proper bass summation.
How much space is required?
Use the dimensions including spikes when planning the installation. Also leave extra room for the speaker cable and for adjusting the cabinet’s position relative to the wall.
How can I adjust the bass in my room?
Begin with the speakers positioned away from the wall, then alter the distance in small steps. Assess the final position from your normal listening seat.
Is a separate subwoofer necessary?
The specified lower frequency limit is 23 Hz. Whether an additional subwoofer is needed will depend on the room, the recordings you play, and your preferred bass level.
