CARDAS CCGR-S BINDING POSTS FOR MAGGIE 1,7i

I want to replace the original MAGNEPAN binding posts with the Cardas CCGR-S in my MAGGIE 1,7i.

Is there any modification needed? I do not want to intervene into original binding post plate. Does anyone have any experience with this?

The wires are not soldered onto the speaker cable terminals, they are soldered onto "O" rings that slip onto the back of the terminals. When you removed those terminals, just don't put the O rings onto the Cardas posts. No cutting of any wires is required. Very simple and easy, even I could do it!

Lots of guys on the Planar Speaker Asylum---hard-core Maggie owners---have bypassed the whole Magenpan hook-up arrangement, including the fuse holder, and replaced the stock speaker cable terminals with Cardas binding posts. A set of the Cardas posts may be cheaper than a pair of boutique fuses!
