Magnepan Owners

Hi - Have any of you ever changed out the standard nickel Midrange or Tweeter jumpers on your Maggie’s with something else. Or have you replaced or bypassed the tweeter/midrange fuses? The reason I’m asking is that I read a review on Absolute Sound where the reviewer did, well at least the jumpers. After looking on the internet I came across a site called Verastarr and they offer a Magnepan kit which includes jumpers and a fuse replacement. The jumpers are Cryo treated 10AWG Silver plated copper in PTFE dielectric. The fuse is replaced with a polished 99.7 pure solid silver hollow tube. I understand the warranty risk with the fuse but wanted to see if anyone has ever tried the above. Supposedly this tweak takes the Maggie’s to another level of performance. I purchased the kit on Audiogon but will most likely just use the jumpers. Please let me know if you have any experience with either.

Cheers

Probably won't make that much of a difference compared with completely rewiring the speakers with various gauges of OFC cryoed copper wire, using copper binding posts, bypassing the fuses, upgrading the stands buying Mye's, and then building an entirely new external crossover out of very high quality parts. 

Any of these things, especially the speaker stands, might be a better option. Bypassing the fuses is not to be done if you drive the speakers hard.
