Magnepan 3.6 ribbon tweeters

I had a pair of 3.5's and lost a tweeter one time. I have no idea of what happened. I was listening loud, it just decided it didn't want to play anymore. Magnapan replaced it without question or charge. You might try a using a smaller fuse on the tweeter, but if you do not listen loud that probably will not accomplish anything. Good Luck, Doug

OOPS!! Third sentence should say: I was NOT listening loud....

I have owned several sets o Magnepans..3 with the ribbons and the only concern was mine. I made the mistake of using
the vac on the grills....and damaged the ribbon with the
vac suction! Most people that have continual problems with
tweeters, I believe, have some kind of high freq. info going
through the tweeters that is frying them.....remember at best we hear up to 20k...but the ribbion can go to 40k+..
...and if your cd player or any other component is passing
high freq. noise above 20k....you can be having concerns..and it not be anything you yourself can hear.

My old pair sounded great and played loudly with a Bryston amp in the former owner's setup. I took them home but never duplicated the good sound [in part due to my amps and untuned room]. I did, however, regularly replace tweeter fuses, and finally sold the spkrs before ribbon replacement became necessary. The extreme excursion of the ribbons at high volume also alarmed me. Sounds like Mr. Diller has all the customers he needs...
