A question for the board,
I have a pair of Magnepan MGiic that I have done a lot of mods to. Love these speakers and I know the majority will say to just buy a new QR model like 1.6 or 1.7s which I intend to do at some point but I'm curious if it's possible to upgrade the tweeter section to a quasi ribbon as opposed to the wire tweeter.
Has anyone tried this before?

It should be possible. There is nothing magic of the flat wire. I would not expect much of a change in sound except there might be a slight reduction of the tweeter level, the round wire probably sits in a more focused part of the magnetic field. The flat wire will adhere better to the Mylar, especially with the adhesive Magnepan use today. You need to get the right foil from them. I have modified the Tympani IVa midrange drivers with flat wire.
