Magnepan 3.7R's Jumpers and Resistors

I have found short pieces of speaker wire sound better than the jumpers with my Maggies.  I also use Mills resistors for the tweeters  as the stock ones suck the life put of the sound.  

I suggest the Path Audio line of speaker resistors. 

You should use the Duelund stranded and tinned copper wire in cotton for this! Natural and organic sounding. So open and real sounding. You can use single runs of the 12 gauge or 4 runs of the 16 gauge in a starquad twist that sounds fantastic.

I have cut speaker cable or 12 guage zip and used it for jumpers also solid copper available in hardware stores. Have to say I don’t hear much difference. Also tried 1.5, and 2 ohm resistors and found they dulled the sound to much.

Duelund Cast (1 ohm) in tweeter..and cardas jumper on mid.

been with this setup since day one, except had Mills originally as the 1 ohm tweeter attenuator.

Hasse,
Thanks. I thought I might have been shorted a pair of jumpers, but I also thought that might have been on purpose to insure that everyone started out using the 1 ohm resistors on the tweeters. I will see if I can get the dealer to obtain a second pair for me. Ultimately, I want something better anyway. Using the resistor was ok at first, but as the bass panels begin to open up, the attenuation of the upper octaves is beginning so sound just a bit too polite, so I'm going to want to get those resistors out before much longer.

"since Magnepan only supplies one set of jumpers". Forgot to mention, there should be two sets of jumpers.

I just ordered the Cardas mid-range jumpers for my 3.7s. I already had the tweeter jumpers on my 3.6s.

I use the Cardas jumpers on my 3.6's. Very pleased with them
