In Reply to: RE: Adding a tweeter to MMG posted by Satie on February 18, 2017 at 15:58:36
I agree here with Satie on the super tweeter. The Maggie QR tweeter in it's range is a very good tweeter. Here's where I'm coming from. My first Maggies were MMG's which I Gunned. The midrange detail and clarity was fantastic. Not overbearing or louder, just more realistic. The midrange even bested a pair of stock MG-2.5R's that I auditioned. Had I not heard the Maggie true ribbon, I probably would have gone the super tweeter route.

Cool, how did you implement your supertweeter ribbon? How is it mounted and how is it crossed over? Do you low pass the MMG?
I think the last part may be a bit confusing. After hearing the MG-2.5R, I bought them. No further mods were done to the MMG's after Gunning them. I figured that modding the crossovers on the 2.5R's, Razoring the panels and adding hardwood frames would raise their performance far enough above the Gunned MMG's to make it worthwhile.
I see, so did you complete the project?
I've Razored the panels, using modified external X-O's, and built braced stands. The hardwood frames will get done this Spring after I replace the tweeters. I blew on of the ribbons (my own dumbness) and because of the age of the speakers, both ribbons will get replace.
Peter, Did you Gun these yourself, or have PG Gun them? If you did it yourself, is there a build thread?
I did the work myself but sorry, there is no build thread. With info gleaned from the threads at the time and PG's x-o diagram. I differed a bit on panel construction and crossover components so I referred to them as "Quasi-Gunned".
