Hey dawnrazor,
I was deliberately not touching the wide possibilities of digital implementation in my comment.
Digital XOs are extremely competent under the condition that source material is digital already and only.
For many, the analog playback is still somewhat the reference to which digital is measured, so a regular electronic crossover device tailored to a specific Magnepan model would definitely be of greater acceptance per se.
How hard would it be, to equip the 1.7, 3.7 & 20.1 range with individual terminals for each driver, and thus circumventing the crossover ?
-and second, developing an electronic "blackbox" to substitute the passive XO ?
With a little imagination and determination, such a solution could be realized at a very sensible price point.
I´m sure that Magnepan knows how much gain in quality an active driven setup does deliver on their speakers.
kind regards
