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

By pass the fuse over the tweeter if you have never had problems blowing them in the past.

Upgrade the xover Caps with some nice Mundorf silver in oil or gold in oil if you can afford them. Then upgrade the inductors. Try Alpha core copper foil types. Clean all contacts. Deoxit is great. That will make you very happy I am sure...

Good luck

Hi Chadeffect, Nice system you have! Apogee+DCS = :))
Cleaning the contact is the first to do, for sure. I will check your advises and see the caps with the Rodman selection.

Well guys, thanks a lot for all your recommandations.
I'm planning a reading time in all the lists of caps, coils... and will ask to the sellers their best ideas. I'm planning to command at the end of August and start to made the changes in September (overseas shipping delays).
