Building crossovers


I have a pair of Magnepan .7 and would like to upgrade the crossovers. Does anybody know where I can have this done. Just build the crossovers I will install.

Marchand Electronics can probably help

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.

 

Ah, here it is:

@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.
