Magnepan mg1b speakers

I agree with the above responses regarding the repairs - they don't seem worth it since the MMG's are available for such a reasonable price. I had a pair of MG1's that I sent back to Magnepan in the early 90's to have refurbished. They sounded fine, but a few years back, I bought a pair of MMG's and although they were physically smaller in size than the MG1's, I thought the MMG's sounded better. I later traded up to the 1.6's. Good luck.

One more comment. I believe as mentioned above, the most common failure mode is the glue bonding the plastic and wires deteriorates. There is another issue to consider, however, and that is corrosion. My MG1's required re-build because the high frequency section was not working. It was not due to amp clipping or overpowering them, I was told by Magnepan that the speakers were internally corroded. This is dependant on storage environment, but it is another consideration.
