MG1.6 crossover upgrade merits.
check the maggie users group. they have all kinds of info on this upgrade. 
Speaker ports and impedance

Help with Sub Woofer connection

Hiss and Hum in a system newly put together
Perhaps a power conditioner would help. I have a panamax unit that is fairly inexpensive, and works great.

What can i do to make my tube preamp sound warmer?

power conditoner
