magnestand owners


I would like to hear from past or current owners of Peter Gunns mods on Magnepan speakers, especially the 1.6 Magnepan. If there are others out there that mod Magnepan please post it here. What has been your expierence? Did the mod make it state of the art or darn close? Was dynamic contrast better which is one of the weaknesses of Magnepan speakers.My room is 14x20 dedicated. Line drive is Mccormacl MLD amp DNA-1 both modded by SMC to the Platinum+ level. Phono stage Audio Research PH-3SE modded by Steve Huntly to the reference level. If you know anything about these mods for Magnepan speakers please post your info. Thanks.

For anyone to compare stock Maggie's to the magnestands is just plain crazy! For one the junk Solen capacitors and ceramic resistors are
Not even in the same league as the Jupiter capacitors or Mundorf,
The Duelund resisters That Gunn uses are the best in the world.
The hardwood frames donot allow all the vibration to come back to
The diaphragms and all the distortions like in the cheap mdf inthe stock frames.Ihave heard both side by side and the Magbestands are in another league,you would have to be deaf to not be able to hear the Huge improvement ! !
Whom ever that says the Magnestand is not much better then stock Maggie's
Either has not heard them or has an agenda.his hardwood frames are Night and Day better then the cheap mdf they come with as well as the
Total rewiring quality Vampire connectors and Superb capacitorsI have used the Mundorf Silver oil, as well as the Jupiter flat stack both excellent
And the Jantzen copper foil inductors and Duelund resistors are Miles better this is why they re seperate from the original enclosure these speakers are well worth all the time and monies that go into these
I heard the modified 1.6, and 3.6 these speakers compete very well with speakers several times their cost.just research .how many do you ever see up for sale? That is my point.you be the judge, no one else.
