New Magnepan 1.7 Owner

Hi guys. I'm the proud owner of really, my first pair of Magneplanar speakers (I only spent a few days with the MG12 and decided to upgrade). I picked up my 1.7's yesterday in the aluminum trim. I will post a review soon.

Anyway, I wanted to ask a few questions about the simplest of upgrades, replacing the tweeter jumpers and fuses.

I need recommendations on fuses and most importantly, where I can purchase them. Also, I don't know much about electronics but I think the value of the fuse is the same as the 1.6 correct? 4A Large Fast Blow?

Also, tweeter jumpers. I have some Audioquest Banana connectors and some Audioquest speaker wire, should I remove the stock jumpers and replace them?

Thanks guys, much appreciated.

I may join the owners club on Tuesday... one last demo and then it may be time to pull the trigger as my dealer has the 1.7's in stock.

Will be my first time using a planar- nice to feel like there is a ton to learn out there.

I am in the club - and man, the chills have finally returned to my listening sessions. Happily sold my b&w 703's for these, and I'd do it all over again if I had to. They aren't even broken in yet- paired with a Bryston 3B and a REL sub- magic in the making.

Happy in Milwaukee.
