| Magnepan LRS+ resistors on the tweeters… which? For anyone wishing to try a bunch of different value resistors check out JF components they have many audio quality of under $2.00 each, I just placed an order myself. They also carry speakers and other audio components. | |
| Upgrading my integrated amplifier for my Magnepan 1.7’s If you're staying with the 1.7 the Parasound Hint integrated is a great match I used the paring myself before moving up to 3.7 Maggie's.

| what amp, streamer, preamp to buy $2500 Used Parasound Halo integrated 5 or 6 has just about everything you could need and is a terrific buy and great sounding piece of equipment. Good luck | |
| Magnepan LRS+ resistors on the tweeters… which? Hi Maggie 3.7i owner I'm using . 57 resistors, I find they tame the high and mids just enough. I tried some over 1 but found they just smothered the high end. As for cable I'm using Canare 4s11 a very reasonable but great sounding cable used in ma... | |
