Magnepan Mods

It appears that they are using upgraded crossovers. I guess I'm confused as to why Magnepan wouldn't offer these upgrades themselves. It's super inefficient to pay for shipping both ways, have someone rebuild it, and then wait a few months to get it back...hopefully with no shipping damage. If Magnepan isn't maximizing their products, it seems like a competitor could make a me too product with a better crossover and a nicer stand option. Am I missing something?

Carver did not design those tweeters, designed by Hi-Vi and cloned by even cheaper manufacturers. See bottom post:

Also, as far as I recall, the Apogee was spectacularly different and difficult to drive compared to the Magnepan and Hi-Vi designs. I've never gotten close enough to inspect Apogee or Magneplanar's so I'll defer to those of you who have.

Best,
