Just ran across this thread (on October 30th, 2020) while my MG12QR's are playing in my living room now. I upgraded to Clarity ESA caps and Jantzen coils, both with higher voltage tolerances (to give a measure of safety for the 'doesn't get any louder when turning the volume to 11')
Completely new speakers after break-in. The MG12 QR's are very placement sensitive but when dialed in, the music literally floats in my living room and the Maggie's hold their own w/o distortion. I use the same test cuts thru Arcam low voltage gear, a Rega P-3 with upgrades and monoblock amps. I built dovetailed boxes for the new components - they sit nicely behind each speaker.
I'm a retired broadcast engineer and audio nerd without raising my nose to others - if you're happy, I'm happy.
What caught my attention was the note asking if someone does these mods. I have time, winters are long here in northern Minnesota. To solve a turntable feedback problem I've started a one man shop - www.auditoryascent.com and contact me thru there. If it's not ok to post the address I apologise, and feel free to edit it out - is more a labor of love than money maker.
Yes, get a sub woofer and raising the Maggie's 2 inches off the floor helps low frequent dispersion.
Lindsey Buckingham sounding pretty good now....
