Maggie 1.7i vs 1.7 (what was changed??)

anyone know, factually? wendell seems rather coy about disclosing, which is rather disappointing

i got my set of 1.7i’s (on magna risers) - these modern versions are just terrific

it has been since 1990 that I have had maggies (3a’s back then), so nice, so much fun, so wonderful to be listening to them again (and probably set up right this time around, in a proper room!! 😆)

anyhow, anyone know what was changed going to the ’i’ model?  there is mention of crossover improvements as i research the topic... but nothing specific or concrete

i am well aware of the sonic differences, just curious as to what was done to the speakers in the ’update’ to the 'i' version

I do know what they did, and would love to say, except that they keep it confidential. Steve at the Audio Circle and I did our best to convince Wendell to disclose it, but he said he couldn't tell us what it was. Eventually, I did figure it out, and he was right -- they really can't disclose it. I still think they should be more forthcoming about other changes, but in this case, I understand why they can't be more forthcoming.

my honest reaction to this post is 'wtf'

More to discover
