Single driver speakers. Are they worth considering ?
For clarity: make that last sentence, "Compression (whether dynamic or power) is another subject altogether; again, not caused by the crossover, but- by overdriven/overloaded drivers." 
Replacing magnepan binding post
I’ve seen Magnepan’s MG 3.6 / 3.6/R (with screws holding the terminal plate), but- have never seen, or heard of, a model 3.6a.    Can’t help you there!     Have the socks (perhaps) been replaced and the terminal plate, partially covered?        Sp... 
Single driver speakers. Are they worth considering ?
@dentdog-    Intermodulation distortion is caused by drivers, trying to reproduce too many frequencies, at one time.     NOT, "...due to crossovers."       Dynamic/power compression is another subject altogether; again, not caused by the crossover... 
Replacing magnepan binding post
I’ve owned their SMGa, MMG, MG12/qr, 1.7i models (all great for home theater) and thought I’d seen everything else Magnepan manufactured, over the past forty-some years.    All had small, round head, Phillips wood screws; holding the terminal plat...

Capacitor upgrade jargon definitions
Though the vast majority of film caps are nonpolar, noise is a concern in audio circuits.     I’ve always tested mine (by ear or scope), to predetermine installation orientation.       https://www.aikenamps.com/index.php/where-to-connect-the-outsi...

"This thread subject was basically bait that I couldn’t resist, being so obviously false."            What's, "obviously false" is your opinion; which you, "couldn't resist" posting.       Thus far, your posts bring the only negative vibe.    S...

Sorry, for the oversight.     Hope you find your issue.

You mentioned being able to get the remote working ("I came down 30 minutes later and tried and all of a sudden the remote worked. Very odd.").       If the Cronus was completely, "dead": how do you know the remote was working?      Just curious, ...

Since you own a multimeter: check the voltages at the bridge rectifier.     (no AC in = transformer / no DC out = rectifier)      Don’t take anything for granted, regarding the power switch, solder joints (etc), ahead of the tranny.               ... 
Best type of metal for turntable platform?
@best-groove:     A plinth could be more a work of art*, made of that.        If cleverly equipped with an air bladder; very efficacious against footfalls.                                                               * Some Panzerholtz lamina...

Why would I have tubes, that I've never heard?        Regardless of how satisfied I am with whatever tubes are currently in use; I know there's always room for improvement.      The only thing I've never been able to resist is temptation (especial...
