Maggie 3.6 Interconenct Upgrade

There is a lot of advertising, different forum comments, suggestions, etc. regarding the pins used by Magnepan to connect the crossover to the back of the Maggie 3.6 speakers.

The general opinion, based on what I have read, seems to be that the steel pins do not transmit the sound very well and one should upgrade to copper or silver interconnects.

My questions are three:

1. Is this really going to help on its own or should it be done in conjunction with a crossover upgrade?

2. The case is made that not using the steel pins helps to separate the crossover box from speaker frame vibrations which can distort the sound. Is this really audible?

3. Would all agree that the Mye stands are probably the most sonically noticable upgrade?

Thank you in advance for your learned responses!
