Maggies with a subwoofer system - optimization?


I need advice on how best to improve the midrange and base on my Magnapans (1.6qrs)My idea is to relieve the panels of base duty ( only feed the signal above 100 to 150 hertz to the panels and let my Swarm subs take the low end signal). I assume my midrange will improve, and the solid base performance via the sub system will fill in well. I now run a Krell S550i integrated into the Maggies, and the Krell Pre output into the DaytonAudio SA1000 Subwoofer amp.

Any feedback is appreciated - will I lengthen the life of my panels? Am I wasting my time?

A First Watt B5 will fix the issue. External Crossover

It features a two pole (12 dB/oct) low pass filter variable from 20 to 300 Hz in 20 Hz steps, and a high pass filter with 1 or 2 poles (6 or 12 dB/oct) which is also variable from 20 to 300 Hz in 20 Hz steps.

The woofer channel also has a 2 pole high pass filter for the woofer with a 6 dB equalization “bump” at 20 Hz. This is useful for extracting a bit more output at the bottom of the audio range of any loudspeaker, particularly open baffles, and functions as a subsonic filter below 15 Hz.

The full range high pass channel offers choices of shelving equalization curve (also known as “baffle step correction”) for full range drivers, variable from 250 Hz to 2.5 Khz with shelving at 0, -2, -4, -6 and -8 dB.

The active circuits are JFET buffers, most of them simple source followers without feedback. The distortion and noise are quite low, and the bandwidth is very wide.

I have one. They are around. Pass quality, no frills or hair raising looks.

FULL of WiMa caps and Vishay copper resistors. Single ended input and output. Separate dinky doo PS. That one I haven't figured out yet. BUT it's very quiet and it's a Pass design.. There is a lot of quality there.

1 - 1500.00 used only. You can talk him into making you one though.

Cool thing is it dosen't mess with impedance on the passive xo. Adding anything on the speaker cable side "WILL" mess with the factory XO, you have to be careful there..

IF you want a great option.. FW B5, The B4 should work.. 3 way if I remember.

Unbelievable......Well Not Really

Totally ignoring the subject matter that the OP’s wishes to discuss a certain individual takes the opportunity to ‘Peddle’ these products yet again...blatant spamming...Ergo SPAM which is not allowed...Will the Mods act ...obviously this post wont survive very long....

” A much better way to get the improvements you want is a combination of vibration control using Townshend Pods under the speakers and subs, and acoustics using Synergistic HFT Speaker and Room Kits.“
Has anyone else biamp-ed Magnepan 1.6/1.7, bypassed factory crossovers, used electronic crossovers and added subwoofer(s)?
@avitacom I have added a pair of REL T/9is per above. Made a huge difference! Please see my post above.
