I bought a pair of new 1.7i in march 2017. After some months one of the speakers started to reproduce a noise in the bass frequencies. I sent back the speaker to the dealer here in Italy. After 4 months! he returned me back a "supposed" new speaker. The serial number is the same, and he told me that Magnepan maintained the same number!. Anyway, the speaker was a bit different from the original (slightly different color of the wood at the edges). But the real problem is that the surface of the mylar is grossly deformed. I found some similar pattern on internet (so called wave pattern). Is that acceptable from a company like Magnepan? Could be a shipping damage? Even if it sounds properly, should I return the speaker to the dealer for a new couple of MG 1.7i? I would like to contact directly Magnepan for showing my problem. Does anyone know how do e-mail Magnepan? Thank you in advance. Diego Fontana |

I think this kind of damage can occur even if the speakers are in the box. |

Is that what it looks like when you put a hair dryer to the mylar? |
