Ok...
Anyway, I think magnepan went to some trouble in design / execution of the crossover so I'm sticking with their values until I know better. That would require far more experimentation than I'm going to do. Also, changing the whole crossover, even matching 'stock' values is quite a crap-shoot in and of itself.
The smart thing of greatest difficulty? Change one thing at a time
Here a new mod....Get A New pr of Speakers......
Most talk like well this is the only speaker {Thay} well ever have so Thay well set out to make a diff speakers out of what Thay have.....BS
If you think the Magnepans are only 60% out of the box...get real..
You set you self up to get better sound by doing any thing...You say it better...why you say so..or it test better...BS
I have alway thought that out of the Box Magnepans were at 80% of any panels ESL Full ribbons..what ever... with or with out mods..
An i have got a lot of FU feed back....
Now some think there at 60% with out your mods.....All most are doing is changing things an saying there better.......An then spend 1000 hr here saying how good thay sound....get a new pr of speakers...No you cant do that you have the best.....right...how do you know??...Oh you went some were an got to hear a pr of what ever an you know what you have are good are better,....BS..
I had an got out of the 1.7 over a year ago....man you guys are still trying to talk you self in to how great your old speakers are....Look I like the Older Maggys...but i went there so i would know...you can talk your self into an out of any thing...rely means nothing...look if as some say a fuse can make your speaker sound diff....WTF..This Crap never ends...youll just stop an say ..Wow these are the best...you need to do XYZ....to get better sound....goodluck
