New Magnepan 1.7 Owner

((to Audio connection:
I believe the tweeters are on the outside. Wrong or right?))

wrong try these on the inside you may still like em on the outside but I think you will like them on the inside better.

You still have not answered the Question
Did you try the supplied resistors in where the Tweeter jumpers go
This is more important than any anything.........
Please do both ASAP and let us know
Cheers Johnnyr

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.
