Satie,
You can attribute whatever increases in performance to the designer Peter Keenan who worked on both the wooden frames AND the metal stands. What I like about the stands is that there is no welding. It's all bolted together. If you want to make the stands wider for whatever reason to accommodate bigger Maggie's then you simply get a longer cross brace. That's it. The drivers are fixed directly onto the wooden frames. The metal uprights then fix to the wooden frames. It is extremely solid in design. The length of the stands at the base is only 450 mm. They can easily go down to 350 mm in my opinion. I can position a 100mm masking tape at the back of the base to tilt the entire system forward and the speaker holds down. No issue.
My intention was to go even further than this. I am hoping to rewire the existing tweeter, again in QR with foil from what you would find on the 20.7 mid. That was supposed to happen but ideological differences crept in. I will keep everyone posted as to whether this takes place or not. As I understand it there were no changes to 1st order frequencies.
