While all these suggestions are interesting, probably few, or perhaps none, will ever be implemented or even given a second thought by Magnepan.
Most of the maggie purchasers out there have never heard of this site, and have no desire to modify, tweak, or otherwise change their stock speakers in any way. They will not be willing to pay for more expensive crossovers or hardwood frames or stands, and for that matter, Magnepan will never offer any of these as options simply because it implies the speakers are not as good without them.
Adding hardwood frames and better stands and xovers would probably double the price of some models and price them out of the market they are in. And...no matter what changes magnepan implements, some people on this site will say thy haven't gone far enough. or the changes were not as good as they should be, will and still perform their own mods and tweaks.
Magnepan has a successful business and excellent, if not perfect, products. It would be naive for anyone to expect them to to modify a successful line to meet the desires of a small speciallist group of owners. This company before anything else is a profit motivated business, they are not hobbiests.
Maggies, because you can never be too thin!
