1st) got the @#$$%^&* steel completely out of the circuit & replaced the posts with Cardas Au-plated Rh 5/7-way (I think).

2nd) removed the joke of a choke & replaced with Goertz 12ga CFAC.

3rd) upgraded the adequate caps with Dayton's with a Dayton non-L bypass (still tweaking values).

4th) built a box & housed them externally in back on the railings.

I haven't started on the MGCC1, but still tweaking my 2.7 (3-way QRs) & MGLR1 (2-way QRs). The problem is one that must've plagued Magnepan. That is a 2nd-order Low-Pass mated w/ 1st-order High-Pass. Things go nuts if you make the woofer go 1st-order & the phase goes wacky if you close the XO gap. I can't go 2nd-order Linkwitz-Riley & invert the tweeter's phase w/ a Krell CurrentMode amp. There's got to be a solution that I haven't thought up yet.
