New Magnepan 1.7 Owner

(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.

I may join the owners club on Tuesday... one last demo and then it may be time to pull the trigger as my dealer has the 1.7's in stock.

Will be my first time using a planar- nice to feel like there is a ton to learn out there.
