Magnepan MG20 tweaks ?


Hello,

I have MG-20's in my system and would like to improve the sound.
I power them with a pair of Pass Labs X600 and I'm very happy of the sound!

I have questions for Maggie owners :
-What are the best way to improve the passive x-over (to replace caps, inductor... internal wire?).
-What type of cables are you recommanding from the MG X-over and the speakers ? (cardas seems to be very appreciate).
I'm leaving in Europe so please give me the links to see the products in Internet.
Thanks,
All the Best. Laurent

In my 3.6 I use Nirvana SX, both jumpers and the cables inside the 3.6. I also change the capacitors and coils with Intertechnik Plus. The sound is heaven! The fuses are cleaned, terrific!
There are several brands of capacitors. I would not say that Intertechnik Plus is the best, but they are easy to get and the sound iis marvellous too. Also the coils have different name, I choose the aircore inductors. Again they sounds like heaven! see www.humblemadehifi.com/Cap.html
A friend of mine has his MG 20.1 modified with Intertechnik Plus. Heaven!
Please bear in mind I wrote Intertechnik Plus, the better Intertechnik, not ordinary Intertechnik.
Do you want to have the "best" MG 20 than choose the electronic crossovers from FM Acoustics, specially made. They cost a lot!
