MG3 Ribon tweeter spare - burned

[Acoustannoy]

Yes...
I burned my Magnepan MG3 tweeter. Glued it with conductive glue and an aluminium foil, but the result is ot so good. Makes 'Brrrzzzz' in the medium, highs ...
And the Magnepan service never answers to my phone calls.

Who shall I email or phone to get a new ribbon, or even a complete tweeter ?

Thanks,
Mathieu

That is no good, Mathieu. But, no, "repairing" a broken ribbon won't work.

The Australian distributor for Maggies offers a repair service - there must be a European distributor for Maggies, if not a French one? Can you Google this?

Were you ringing Magnepan in the US (+1 (651) 426-1645) when you say they don't answer your phone call? Remember, there's a time difference between France and the mid-West.

Regards,

Andy

Call the Magnepan home office at (651) 426-1645 (with whatever country code prefixing you need to use to route the call to the USA), and ask them where to send your broken tweeter, to get a replacement.
