If you want to bi-amp your .7s then you don't really need to know what the actual XO component values are ... bcoz you already know that it:
* is 1st order - so has 6dB slopes
* and is a series XO.So if you used, say, a miniDSP 2x4HD ... you could set up 6dB BW HP & LP slopes and change the XO frequency on the fly between 700Hz and 1200Hz - and decide which frequ value you preferred. (This range of frequencies covers all the 2-way Maggies.)

PS: Obviously, you need to bypass the stock passive XO to do this. And install a 2nd pair of spkr-wire connectors.
