Magnepan Owners


Hi - Have any of you ever changed out the standard nickel Midrange or Tweeter jumpers on your Maggie’s with something else. Or have you replaced or bypassed the tweeter/midrange fuses? The reason I’m asking is that I read a review on Absolute Sound where the reviewer did, well at least the jumpers. After looking on the internet I came across a site called Verastarr and they offer a Magnepan kit which includes jumpers and a fuse replacement. The jumpers are Cryo treated 10AWG Silver plated copper in PTFE dielectric. The fuse is replaced with a polished 99.7 pure solid silver hollow tube. I understand the warranty risk with the fuse but wanted to see if anyone has ever tried the above. Supposedly this tweak takes the Maggie’s to another level of performance. I purchased the kit on Audiogon but will most likely just use the jumpers. Please let me know if you have any experience with either.

Cheers

No I just stumbled across a review and heard replacing the jumpers would yield a better sound
Vera Starr has a totall maximum rebuild of the whole unit with premium external 
crossover, their premium wires  custom ridged frames . A 3.6  can easily beat the 20.series. Not cheap. You would have to call them.
Make jumpers from your favourite cable, leave the fuses, add Mye stands, add a good subwoofer. My upgrade path with my 1.7’s when I owned them. Probably the best sound I have had in my home
I have the upgrade kit in my 1.7is. It works!  Running the highs (tweeter) thru that little glass tinned wire fuse has to impede resolution.  Just be careful, they are wide open with the fuse delete, driving them with an underpowered amp into distortion could end badly..
