RE: Magnepan 2.7/QR image / focus issue

Have you changed amplification?

Try measuring DC resistance between the terminals:
The mid and tweeter are both in series with caps so can not be measured from the fuse or main terminals, but only from within the speaker.

If the sound is getting over ripe and bassy and the top end and mid are getting underpronounced it may be due to corrosion of the wires which tends to raise resistance and lower output. They are 30 years old. My mids had that problem at 22 years old but they were living in the SF bay area with salty sea air before I bought them. The wires will eventually get too thin and break. You can deal with it yourself or send them to magnepan for repair.
If you are considering doing the repairs yourself then you can use Mart's recipe for modifying the crossover with higher grade parts.
