The best way to increase bass performance of any speaker IMO is to reduce the Rg (the sum of the resistance in the crossover, speaker wiring and amplifier output impedance). This increases the damping power and gives better control of the amp. The most obvious thing with Magnepans is to lose the steel input jacks and upgrade the inductor with one with lower DCR. Better yet, get rid of the crossover all together and actively biamp, placing the crossover before the amplifiers. With regards to biamping, it's not the increase power of two amps that makes the difference, it's the elimination of the passive crossover.I may be an egoist but at least I don't talk about other people.
