Magnepan 3.6 ribbon tweeters


Is any one else having trouble with their Magnepans? I have replaced 4 ribbon tweeters since August. Magnepan is no help at all, and says, "That's what you get for buying a ribbon tweeter."- Wendell Diller. Its funny I owned the orginal MG-3s for over 15 years and never blew a tweeter, using the same electronics. I'd welcome any advice or feedback.

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.
