Jumpers and attenuators on Magnepans.......

Hi Guys,

I have been thinking about bi-wiring my 1.6s and a few people suggest I would be better upgrading the jumpers. I would like to know if I have downgraded my jumpers by putting on the attenuators supplied as stock with the 1.6s - these look like nothing more than a paper clip with a little block of chalk attached. If upgrading jumpers makes quite a difference then I suspect these paper clips are downgrading the sound, although they have helped with the harsh highs. Is it possible to buy better quality attenuators than the ones supplied by Magnepan as standard?

Sorry guys, I should have mentioned that I use Kimber 8tc, which, apparently is a good cable. I like bass, so I would also be interested to hear if any of you are familiar with cables known for good bass also.

What are your opinions on those paper-clip looking attenuators supplied with the speakers - certainly not beefy looking like the regular jumpers, I mean, why use beefy jumpers if paper clips will do?

Hi Lak,

I am using a Pass Labs 250.5, so double that into 4 ohms

Sorry guys, what I referred to as attenuators are actually reisistors - can these be upgraded?
