Magnepan Mods

Search YT channel OCD. He just finished modding a pair with custom frames. Looks awesome. He should be posting a listening session soon

I have a pair of Magnestand MG-12s. I followed Peter Gunns instructions and noticed huge improvements in mids and bass. I had the opportunity to listen to modded vs. stock side by side. I then sent them to him for full frames and that took everything to a new level. I have not given thought to speakers since and it's been 6 years now !

Thanks for the discussion about PG and his modification work on the older Maggie’s. I am running my own comparison I guess. I am in line with PG to get my older 1.6 s modified. I use them in my system in my Bonus room. My main system now uses the 1.7i and I just added the bass panel - DWM. The sound is great, but my Krell integrated amps are having trouble pushing the load - Magnepan recommences putting the bass panel in parallel. Both of my Krell now overheat (KAV 400 and S550i). 

A fair number of the guys over at the Planar Speaker Asylum, some long-time Maggie owners, have removed the fuses from the signal path of their speakers. An easy upgrade to the speaker I have performed is to replace the stock speaker cable terminals with Cardas binding posts, which requires no modifications to the speaker. The holes in the back plate on the speaker into which the stock terminals are mounted is the same size required for the Cardas posts.
