New Magnepan 1.7 Owner


Hi guys. I'm the proud owner of really, my first pair of Magneplanar speakers (I only spent a few days with the MG12 and decided to upgrade). I picked up my 1.7's yesterday in the aluminum trim. I will post a review soon.

Anyway, I wanted to ask a few questions about the simplest of upgrades, replacing the tweeter jumpers and fuses.

I need recommendations on fuses and most importantly, where I can purchase them. Also, I don't know much about electronics but I think the value of the fuse is the same as the 1.6 correct? 4A Large Fast Blow?

Also, tweeter jumpers. I have some Audioquest Banana connectors and some Audioquest speaker wire, should I remove the stock jumpers and replace them?

Thanks guys, much appreciated.

The tweeters can go inside OR outside.
You can even flip 'em backwards, so the mylar is to the back and the magnet assembly is to the front. I have mine that way now, and glad I did.

But, don't mess with anything until you have a 'baseline' established.
(I am also a week old Magnepan 1.7 owner. I am finding th sound thick(improved aftermuch placement efforts) and the upper midrange hard, Short of changing amp and pre-amp-any cost effective suggestions?)

Huh? The last thing I have found them to be is thick and hard. Light on their feet, gorgeously natural and beautifully integrated, these are some of the flat out easiest speakers I have listened to. They are revealing like many god speakers are but I have found them to sound good with even a $900, 60 watt integrated amplifier running
iTunes from a computer wirelessly! Seriously...these are truly delightful speakers and everyoe should hear them just to hear what $2,000 bucks can buy you these days.

Oh, and yes, change out that chunk of chrome metal for a nice copper jumper for a nice change to the tweeter.
Real fi Audiocr381ve e mailed he is making progress with the resistors although he hasn't posted yet
Crom is right. They need time. Mine improve every day. appologies if anyone was upset.
Magfan and Audio Connection: What do you mean by 'flipping the tweeters." And what is 'inside or out'- exactly. Thanks.
