Just eliminating the fuse made a drastic improvement. Never tried the stands with my maggies. I think their are some high grade fuses available on the market now. This maybe a safer way to hear the differences. I've never used them in the maggies though.

I did however rebuild the crossovers. This also made a noticeable improvement.
The upgraded parts were so much larger,I had to make them outboard crossovers.

You can go to audioasylum and find plenty of info in the panel section about modifications.
I hear ya Pete ..I love the maggies as well... especially modified. The FTA2000s have served me well though..had them longer than any other speaker so far.

It is a hard for me to choose between them. I just need a little more flexibility with amps than the maggies would allow. If I had the room and finances, I would have both with the appropriate amplifiers. I still have a pair of old maggies in storage..who knows I might have them refurbished one day.

Recently picked up a SE triode tube amplifier to try out. I don't think the maggies would do too well with it. :-)

I would bring it up to try out on your Brines but the amp weighs over 100 lbs. I won't be able to produce rug rats lugging it around! LOL

Man you've been busy!! ;-)
