Return to Planar Speaker Asylum
70.127.63.218
The connectors from the x-over to the speaker and the speaker connectors themselves were torn off when I was in the hospital and a friend had someone come in and clean. AARRGG!
Since I have to repair them I might as well upgrade them. What do you guys like? I want an exact fit! I don't mind spending a little money, but I don't want to go hog wild either. 5-way binding posts with jumpers from the x-over to the speakers.

Or these on the external box? Or maybe both?

You can replace these by goldplated ones from the same manufactor, Pomona. Do not remember the exact part number. For tight fit, use plugs and jacks from the same manufactor. I dislike the "tightning screw" terminals Magnepan uses.

I prefer to reduce the number of connections to a minimum and if possible I solder them. My prefered connectors are these from Multi Contact.

Yes, thanks much Roger. One each was broken of the "pin" connectors that Maggies use to attach the x-over box that are seated by those grub screws, and the opposite side with those dreaded screws. I forget which is which ... that's how Maggie idiot proofs the x-over installation ... it will only connect one-way. Again, thanks. Still undecided but thinking about it.
