Hi Bob,

"onemug" has commented that he got the Cardas kit ... and that it's a) an obvious improvement to get them off the vibrating panels and b) copper is definitely better than steel.

Absof'inglutely!! :-))

I've no doubt that replacing what Magnepan provides as standard, will improve your sound! :-)) However, I suggest "bigger is not necessarily better"!!

AFAIAC, there is a relationship between frequency, wire diameter and "good sound". IE. the wires between the outboard crossover and the bass panels can be 12 or even 10 guage ... but the wires to the mid/ribbon connectors must be ... 18g, max!

So I suggest you try replacing the #12 OFC copper wire which you've used instead of the stock tweeter attenuation pin, with some 18g or even 20g good quality wire and see how this improves your sound.

Regards,

Andy
