Magnepan LRS+ resistors on the tweeters… which?

You know, Maggie’s are hard to set up, I have the 1.7s. What cables are you using?Also amplification makes a difference too. There are warmer amps and better sounding cables,even though that is a heavily debated topic. What are you using for amps?

I’m using a belles integrated amp, which makes the Maggie’s very crisp, and using audio quest type 9 but with dbs battery pack. The cable without the battery pack believe it or not made the speakers a little bit too sharp. The dbs smoothed it out. I wasn’t the only one who heard it. The wife heard it first.

Also the other alternative which is crazy stupid expensive, is to have magnepan upgrade the whole crossover to the new x version. But like I said it’s like 2 grand for that 

Yea I tried the resistors once, sounded like my ears were clogged 

The new crossover in magnepan… any way to generate profit. For me, I’m staying stock until the next upgrade bug.

yyzsantabarbra hit the nail on the head with getting Maggie’s off the floor with the magneriisers and their supplied jumpers. Vast improvement. They tune the risers for each speaker. Audiofilo123: Your right that the belles does get hot, but I have fans cooling it. I’m running the virtuoso which gives me plenty of current to drive my speakers. I have great imaging and sound stage. But like the other posts have been suggesting, please try to avoid using the resistors if all possible. Try a few different audio quest cables, type 9 + dbs or rocket 88 + dbs. I even upgraded my power cord to my streamer and am using xlr cables for additional clarity. Everything in the chain makes a difference with sound quality.

In ur pic, is that a cement floor for your listening area?

If so u may need an area rug for sound absorption. Too much reflection in a room will sound bright, glass, cement, any hard surface. Even going from leather furniture to fabric makes difference in sound.
