Magnepan mg1b speakers

ditto what Elizabeth says, the wire will fall off.

I had a pair of MG1's twenty five years ago (!) that needed repair to the wire that came unglued.

It is an easy fix (that I did myself) but not worth the bother IMO...

Thanks for your info it really helps

You made a great purchase with these maggies, i love his wide soundstage. They are not the most efficient speakers, but they are still good.

I agree with the above responses regarding the repairs - they don't seem worth it since the MMG's are available for such a reasonable price. I had a pair of MG1's that I sent back to Magnepan in the early 90's to have refurbished. They sounded fine, but a few years back, I bought a pair of MMG's and although they were physically smaller in size than the MG1's, I thought the MMG's sounded better. I later traded up to the 1.6's. Good luck.

I had MG1s for well over 20 years. And thru a factory rebuild.

If you get them cheap enough and are willing and ABLE to do some DIY, there is no reason they can't serve you well.

Furthermore, even though they are not the most sensitive speaker, they can be made to work with 100/side or less.

Between the original model and the final there were 'a' / 'b' and 'c' revisions. I think they were crossover and cosmetic mods.

White Bear probably no longer supports this speaker. CALL them, since they don't do internet. Also, MUG (Magnepan Users Group) should be on your short list of bookmarks.
