RE: Danny Richie of GR Research VS Magnepan

Davey, DR explains what he did in the video. It's pretty simple, not many parts. He changes the tweeter high-pass filter slope from 1st-order to 2nd, which he claims lowers the sense of "strain" the driver exhibits when pushed. I don't remember how he brings the lower and higher frequencies into more even response, I'll have to watch the video again.

He also suggests discarding the rear plate and the speaker binding "posts" (suggesting his Tube Connectors for use in their place) and fuse parts (they contain numerous ferrous elements), and making a new plate out of perhaps MDF. He sells the Mod Kit for a couple hundred bucks (per pair) iirc, but not using the Tube Connectors (some Maggie owners have installed Cardas binding posts in place of the stock) will save you $59/pr.
