The MX has improved crossover as well as the improved cabinet. New speakers also come w/the Super BAM. This is a no-brainer upgrade for current owners!
I would think that your amp would mate well with the either one, but I would probably not recommend going w/used pair that includes the solidstate wiring harness.
Key point is that the MX provides much improved bass performance, more explosive dynamics, and an uncanny amount of transparency.
Calling Bobby at Merlin would be a good idea for you. One question to ask him is regarding use of the passive preamp vs. your SP-8. My understanding is that you ideally want the BAM to run via the tape loop of an active preamp. With the BAM, you might find the SP-8 preferrable to the Placette. Cheers,
Spencer
