It's been several years since I've even used my Magnepan 2.7QR loudspeakers ,but even when I was listening to them I was never completely sure about what was the "intended" speaker wire connection with the supplied jumper clips in place.
Would I gain any advatange if I just removed the jumpers & just Tr-wired these speakers. Does doing this make how the crossover works a "non-issue"? I was thinking of using some short runs of "Anti - Cables" for this (Or maybe even something more generic).
Any suggestions as to whether this will or won't work well would be appreciated.

The jumpers are for attenuating resistors but do not allow for easy tri-wiring. This would require a major rewire of the crossover. However a simple tweak would be to by-pass the attenuators and fuses.
You might want to post over on the Planar forum for other ideas on tweaking the MG-2.7. There are multiple "standard" tweaks including by-passing the fuses and attenuators, replacing the steel connecting posts, wood frames (vs mdf), stands, reinforcements, "razoring" (named after an inmate, Dawnrazor), upgrading the crossover components and wire, multiamping, and use of a series choke or parallel RC network on the tweeter, to name a few.
As long as the user manual indicates a tri-wiring method, there is no reason why you should not go ahead and experiment. If you like what you hear, it might be like listening to a MkII loudspeaker upgrade as a result.
