Hi Colin,
Well... Your success, enthusiasm, and enjoyment bring a smile to my face! I never had issues with my stock Behringer like you are. It's always possible that with my equipment, in my listening room - which is also my living room - and with my ears, I just can't hear what you are hearing.
I am VERY happy with my system sound right now. I'm really not much of a tweaker and tend to keep my gear for a long time. Heck, I've had my MGIII's since I bought them brand new around 1983 - 1984. I had them rebuilt by Magnepan a couple of years ago and am happy as a pig in poop. I have another pair of MGIII's that are in excellent cosmetic condition but pretty much need to be rebuilt beneath the socks. I'm working my way to having them as a winter project. I have a friend who is a woodworker that will make new frames for them. I intend to rebuild the bass and mid panels, replace the ribbons, use high quality wire, connectors, and fuse holders (if I use fuses), use better quality components for the crossovers, etc. Actually, I'm happy enough with the modded Behringer that I am considering getting a small tube amp for the highs and triamping. I have been gathering ideas on what to do and how to do it for a while and letting the ideas procreate in the back of my head. Maybe incubate would be a better word... Anyway, they will be my DIY project, and quite possibly the last major change to my system. I initially planned on just rebuilding the bass panels and using them with my factory rebuilt MGIII's, but the plans keep evolving. The person who modded my Behringer also offers stepped attenuators that I could use in place of my preamp. Quality sound reproduction is both a destination and a journey. Who knows when - or if - it will end?
Regards,
Steve
