RE: new MMG`s..... lots of questions

If you have two caps and one coil, then you should be dealing with the "old" design (2nd order LP). The problem is that Magnepan used two 12 mfd caps in parallel so you should be seeing three caps not two. I also doubt that Magnepan used an Erse cap. Conclusion, someone modified the crossover.
The best way to determine if you have the older 2nd order model or not is to measure the resistance of the tweeter. The older design has a 2.2 ohm impedance and the newer has a 4 ohm impedance.
I am sure JBen will be here soon, but he can give you great ideas for the older MMG as he has tweaked his to the max.
