RE: How many people are NOT upgrading their crossover in the Maggie 1.6s

Yes.....I didn't want to get into the math....'cause I simply don't remember it well....
But.
Inductor is 0.4+4.1 of panel vs 0.2(aftermarket inductor)+4.1 of panel.........somehow you use logs / subtract and it pops out with a number which is a difference.

I can understand 'matched pairs'.......No need to throw in variables without need. I'll bet the bare driveres themselves vary +-0.1ohms....or perhaps more? I didn't see a tolerance on the schematic.

Maybe Magnepan could charge +100$ 'Matched Panel' fee and sell matched pairs? hmmmmm.

Anyway, I think magnepan went to some trouble in design / execution of the crossover so I'm sticking with their values until I know better. That would require far more experimentation than I'm going to do. Also, changing the whole crossover, even matching 'stock' values is quite a crap-shoot in and of itself.
The smart thing of greatest difficulty? Change one thing at a time.
