I built new crossovers for my speakers a couple of weeks ago. I used hookup wire from DH Labs. They have a nice variety. I used 18 gauge on the crossover components and 14 gauge to the new binding posts. I got the amount of Cardas eutectic solder I needed from Ebay. I'm very happy with the results. 3 caps and a resistor shouldn't be too hard to make. It wasn't easy but worth the effort. And a nice sense of accomplishment. There are YouTube videos you can reference. |
Marchand Electronics can probably help https://www.marchandelec.com/oem.html You might be tempted to get one of their tube electronic crossover that can potentially upgrade pretty-much any speaker. The beauty is that it's fully adjustable and you can set-up any allocations to your taste. These guys can also recommend an array of useful tools to measure all necessary settings. |
Give Danny Richie at GR Research a call or email. He had had at least one Magnepan model sent to him for evaluation, and he posted a YouTube video in which he discusses and demonstrates what he discovered. As he regularly does with loudspeakers sent to him by customers, he designed a new crossover for that Maggie.

@arya - Don't be dismayed, should your new parts sound less than ideal, upon first listen. The better the dielectrics used in construction, the longer the capacitors will take to sound their best. ie: Also: the better caps will (usually) have their outer foil lead marked, to help with optimum orientation, in specific applications. ie: https://audience-av.com/oem-diy-parts/a_applications/
