Make an outboard crossover consisting of an 8ga copper inductor of the correct value as well as a multicap made up of Cresendo film and foil caps.These purchases can be made at North Creek Music systems. Hard wire and rigidly mount these to a non ferrous metal base. Any hardware should be non ferrous as well. Metal base should be drilled and threaded for 1.5 ap Audiopoints.Binding posts should be Cardas solid copper, any necessary internal wire should be Sonoran hookup, solder should be Riehl Copper solder...All these devices work well for me..Follow this pattern and the difference will be huge..Tom
MG1.6 crossover upgrade merits.
The MG1.6 has a simple crossover, two capacitors (one multi-element because of value) and an inductor. It is a good candidate for upgrade with top quality components, eg:musiccaps and aircoil inductor. These widgets aren't cheap! It will set me back about $200 to do one speaker, and I have three to do.
The components in the original crossover are not bad: Solen foil caps.
What is the opinion out there regarding whether such a crossover upgrade will yield improved performance. What will be different after the change? Has anyone done it?
