Magnepan Upgrade

I have a mint pair of 2.6R's on Sound Anchor stands (recently rebuilt at the factory). I would like to take them to the limit and was wondering if anyone knew of a company modifying Maggies. I have heard of a company called KMF Audio but don't know how to contact them. Anyone have any suggestions/alternatives etc. Any help most appreciated. The maggies are being driven by Pass Labs X600's with a wadia 270/27ix front end.

WoW ..$16000.00 amps.Tireguy no ones perfect! Including myself. Well if thats the case maybe pick up some MG20.1s or Soundlabs! I still wouldn't sell those 2.6Rs though.Those Maggies are hard to come by and if you stuck them on Agon they would be lucky to last an hour. There's a reason why they don't come up for sale too often.The people that own them know what they have!

Tireguy...Your mistake is excused. I made one once. I thought I had made a mistake, but I hadn't.

Get the Cardas Maggie wire kit and Mye stands and then see if you need to mess with wiring. I'm sure it makes a difference to bypass the fuses, but that idea scares me.

And if you are interested in upgrading, I'm selling my 3.6R's...and I hope the editor doesn't pull this response, because I have an active ad! (hint hint)

Good luck! Maggies are awesome in the right room with good power.

Tireguy ..I have one more question. I can't tell but are those Mundorf caps used in your crossovers? I know these are considered one of the best caps in the world . If not what are those caps?

I'm in agreement with several of the comments above. A friend is satisfied with Mye stands on his modded 1.6's. You reach a point, though, when there are better ways to get down the road. Nidum, if you're anywhere near the Chicago area, email me and I can put you in touch with the guy.
