Magnepan Owners

Dont be nervous unless your amp is underpowered meaning low CURRENT not wattage, or if you do silly things like change out RCA with amps on.. I’m sending a kit to a 30 year Magnepan dealer who told me never ONCE has he seen a blown fuse. Many people just bought these kits and I asked them to post results here.

@Itsky, there are no options, you remove protection for dummy mistakes. These fuses hurt the sound more than they are needed for anything.

Heavy handed ? lol, that does not blow fuses. To prove this I’m playing my 3.7i at around 100Db and taking a video. I posted it to youtube. It is not power that hurts any speaker, its distortion. If my kit broke speakers I would stop selling it. I do this to help maggie owners get the most out of their Maggie’s. I am a staunch Maggie lover. I get kidded by peers for having cheap speakers. What Ive got is smart speakers. They sound World Class at a fraction of the cost. Maggies sound horrible with fuses in, they are even bad to me with factory crossover. Not even close to balanced if you run a speaker response test. I like accuracy not flavoring, so perhaps I should state these maggie mods are in the pursuit of an accurate reference loudspeaker rather than a fun to listen to because of what its doung loudspeaker which theres a place for as well.

I assumed we were talking about stock factory Magnepans?  The link you posted to above, show speakers that are very far from "factory stock".  Who knows what perimeters have been changed with all of your modifications?

Also, why spend the money on this "kit", when you can pull off the back plate and easily rewire the connectors to bypass the holders.  This can be reversed if/when you need to.  It creates a much shorter and better path than using jumpers and special fuses.

So if your talking about better fidelity, (which you are), then there are cheaper and better sounding options.

If any members are in Northern Colorado, I would be more than happy to perform this tweek for free, just get a hold of me.

Bypassing the fuses interests me, has anyone who has done this (including adding the Cardas binding posts) mod have video instructions that could walk someone thru this?  I'm electronically challenged at best and wouldn't want to do more harm than good, thanks.

Mike I received the upgrade today and wow I’m truly amazed how they really opened up my Maggie’s. I’m definitely will be sharing this with all my Maggie owners. 

Cheers
