Magnepan 3.6 ribbon tweeters

Well, aside from one fuse replacement, I've never had any trouble out my old 3.5s or MG20s. I ran my 3.5s with Bryston and Krell amps at one time oranother, and the MG20s with a Pass X350. That last combo will play louder than I care to listen, and with never a problem with fuses or tweeters.

WRT to Magnepan in general and Mr. Diller in particular, I must agree with the other posters who've encountered a profound lack of regard for the customer. If their products weren't so damn good, I'd tell this company and Mr. Diller to stuff it where the sun doesn't shine. Mr. Diller flat out lied about whether or not they were working on an update of the MG20R and then evinced a 'too bad, tough' attitude when called on it. I can only hope that Magnepan is acquired by someone with some sense of customer relations, and that Mr. Diller is relegated to his true calling - a career in the food service industry.

I have found Magnapan to be very helpful. But more importantly their dealer network. Both have been very helpful to me. I suggest working with a dealer. As far as blowing tweeters, the 3.6's like a 200 watt plus amp. They also like to be bi-wired. When moving use the magnetic protectors. I have had my 3.6's for about one year and have never had a problem. These are great speakers! I suggest you work with a dealer as to your particular problem. The problem with the tweeters is not a design flaw.

As a customer, former audio dealer, and consultant, I called Magneplanar to inquire about changes and updates to their product line as I go out of my way to avoid dealing with their arrogant dealer in my area. I thought maybe I said something to offend him, as I found Mr Diller to be a snippy, arrogant, insecure, confrontational and completely unhelpful jerk. Gald to see from the posts above that I guess it wasn't me. It is really to bad for a company wiht wonderful products to face clients with exactly the type of person that has destined our wonderful hobby to remain forever stuck as a struggling cottage industry, whining about shrinking margins, home theatre, MP-3 etc.
