"I'd guess that the new ones use the new caps and a series crossover. "
That'd mean PG was right!

In a sense, it would.

  Wasn't the ORIGINAL MMG crossover a series design?
  Weren't some other Maggies stock with a series crossover?

    One of the reasons I said "in a sense." Not in the original MMG, but they had used it. There are various advantages and disadvantages to a series crossover, so I don't think you can say "series crossovers are better" or "series crossovers are worse." It really depends on what you're doing.

      Yeah, I made no judgement on better / worse.
      I'd imagine that as is usual....you make choices.....each of which has an upside and a downside.
      
      Sometimes the downsides seem so trivial that the upside seems a 'miracle'.

        In the case of crossovers, it can also be determined by other technical factors. For example, series crossovers have pretty much lost any advantage once you go beyond a single pole. So if you're speaker design can't work optimally with single pole crossovers (most can't), a series crossover isn't going to buy you much. Also, if you use a Zoebel network, a series crossover is probably going to sound the same as a parallel crossover. Etc. Lots of considerations.
