tweeter replacement Magico S5

Yeah, I’m not saying you should go with the off the shelf tweeter. However, if you think $800 is reasonable, you should probably have a pro do the work too.


If you think it’s outrageous in cost, you should look for alternatives.


My advice was for the sake of cost savings.

These are NOT the same tweeters, and Magico tells you, if you care to listen, how it is different (different surround, coating, etc.). Why would a Magico (or any other brand) owner, take advise from some anonymous putz against the manufacturer recommendation??
I hope that someone on the manufacturing side is reading this.

Magico says a lot of things. Also, I’ve reported your post for being abusive. I’m not anonymous, so your claim is libelous already, and while putz is a matter of personal opinion, it is incredibly offensive and inflammatory. It is completely inappropriate for this forum.


You want to go to Reddit if that’s how you interact with other users. Whether you get banned or not, @sciencecop you are definitely not up to the standards of the fine Audiogoners I enjoy interacting with. So go ahead, flame away.

And advising people to make financial mistakes is up to this forum standard? What about insinuating a manufacturer is fraudulent in conduct, without any proof ("Magico says a lot of things...")? Is that a norm?
Let me see if I can get you ban for doing all that (not really, I do have a life...).

Guyt, Not to worry. That tweeter electrically is very tough. It will be very hard to over heat it. Make sure you tin the iron as it is heating up. Remove the wires from the old tweeter with the iron. Do not cut them. Re tin the ends with fresh solder and crimp them on the terminals of the new tweeter tight with needle nose pliers paying attention to polarity. Press the iron against the terminals and the wires, when you see the solder glisten add a little more solder at the junction between the wire and the terminal. It should flow right out. The whole process should take no more than 5 seconds. Your Iron should be at least 25 watts preferably over 40. A cold iron is worse than a dull knife. If you are uncomfortable with soldering just practice soldering 24 gauge wire together. If you are still nervous message me.
