New Magnepan 1.7 Owner

Hi guys. I'm the proud owner of really, my first pair of Magneplanar speakers (I only spent a few days with the MG12 and decided to upgrade). I picked up my 1.7's yesterday in the aluminum trim. I will post a review soon.

Anyway, I wanted to ask a few questions about the simplest of upgrades, replacing the tweeter jumpers and fuses.

I need recommendations on fuses and most importantly, where I can purchase them. Also, I don't know much about electronics but I think the value of the fuse is the same as the 1.6 correct? 4A Large Fast Blow?

Also, tweeter jumpers. I have some Audioquest Banana connectors and some Audioquest speaker wire, should I remove the stock jumpers and replace them?

Thanks guys, much appreciated.

Do you have the tweeters on the inside or outside?
Have you installed any of the supplied Resistors where the tweeter jumpers are yet?

You may want to try the Supplied resistor first to see how the tweeter level meets your room acoustics.

((to Audio connection:
I believe the tweeters are on the outside. Wrong or right?))

wrong try these on the inside you may still like em on the outside but I think you will like them on the inside better.

You still have not answered the Question
Did you try the supplied resistors in where the Tweeter jumpers go
This is more important than any anything.........
Please do both ASAP and let us know
