Waz, yes, it appears to be the case. It has been discussed in broad strokes over the past months, or more implied than actually said. If there was to be a better tie-in to the DWM, the new MMG xover -- and perhaps even more -- would better be "optimized for it?".The OP's mention of an Erse cap seems to point in this direction. Erse was never part of the factory-original xovers. Could be a fluke -- like Magnepan was short on Solen for a day or two -- but, again, there is an expectation that some kind of change had to happen. Then, if accurate enough -- there is the mention of an unlikely 4.4 ohms tweeter impedance. My original model's were 2.6 ohms, the next generation were about 4 ohms...
So, we all may have to learn a few new things...and perhaps develop new tweaks & tricks. Goodie ,goodie! LOL

...boutique XO components now - to appease the crazies (like we are). Of course, that doesn't really please those of us who are seriously crazy (about the hobby). The tinkering is half the fun!
In order to measure the impedance of my drivers, I had to pull a spade off each one (to isolate it from the XO) and measure at the tabs. The OP hasn't peeled back the sock yet, so...
Waz, speaking about tinkering, did you jump to the "i" upgrade (via Magnepan)? Or, are you just waiting for our collective mind to find enough details about it...so you can get the excuse to...
...you know...
...do surgery on the 3.7?
Hmmm, I reckon we are behind on fact findings lately.
...I've just been enjoying the music and not worrying about what the 'i' is...although, I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't curious. Eh, one of these days, it will be revealed (not by Magnepan). When that happens, I can figure out if it's pertinent to my configuration...and do it myself (assuming that it's something I could do).
