>>>> it's too early for anyone without first hand knowledge of your system to be speculating that something is definitely wrong with your speakers simply because they may have been purchased second hand. There's no evidence to support that theory.<<<<<<<Well.... not necessarily true, although no speaker company is perfect, I've seen 1st owners here who've had issues with their brand new panels including some with loose solder joints and (believe it or not) delam!--that's right, someone's new 1.7 had delam issues (or so he says)- which was really surprising since those are supposedly using the new adhesive, and then also those few having the 'listing' sound issues.
NOT suggesting the OP falls into this category, and I trulyhope it's just something minor.

I don't disagree at all with what you're saying. My point was that advice was proffered to him in absolute terms on another forum board, then backed up by someone else as a fact and the likeliest scenario. Neither of the folks who advised him in that thread had heard his speakers, even if they knew someone who'd experienced bad second hand Maggies in someone else's system.
I'm just wary of bananas being substituted for apples (although I do use banana connectors in my system). ;0)
Like you, I hope that his situation is something minor and not attributable to his speakers.

Well that would be me.
Seems like some of the best minds here and over at Audiocircle have assisted with this hashness issue to no avail.
When do we point the finger at the 3/7i itself.
I suggested he call magnepan directly to coordinate with a local dealer
to have them inspected. If the speaker is the problem, they can assist in sending them back to Magnepan for repair.
Did you guys read my last post? He bought these used as part of estate deal and they were previously modified. The left speaker has some brass material stuck in it that he's been trying to get out, but with no luck. He doesn't have the original jumpers just the mods that came with the speaker. I suspect that the jumper may be causing some signal interference with the brass remnants. He's going to contact Magnepan to see options for removal and getting new jumpers.
If anyone knows how to remove the remnants I'm certain he would be most appreciative as I am not that technical.
Cheers

There are now 110 posts in this thread. Sadly, that's one I missed.

I wish John had included that information in his first post. I've read less frightening descriptions of shrapnel damage in a war zone.

Sage advice.
