Adding a tweeter to MMG

Posted by aceinc on February 18, 2017 at 10:11:51:
As I had posted in a different thread, I am considering using Magnepan MMGs as a midwoofer to an Open Baffle speaker system I am putting together.

I was discouraged from doing that as the tweeter section of the MMG is not particularly good.

I don't give up easily, and I was thinking what if I built an add-on to the MMG of a 4 unit array of something similar to the BG NEO-8s?

That would be about 32" of tweeter per side.

Some things I don't know that might help;

1) If you take apart an MMG, what does the tweeter look like?
2) Are there pictures of the MMG naked? (speaker porn)
3) If the tweeter array can't be directly integrated into the existing structure, perhaps a wing (& a prayer) with the tweeters mounted in that?
4) The MMG main speaker would handle frequencies from 80hz to Xhz. The NEO 8 clones supposedly can crossover as low as 350hz, but I was thinking 1khz. Any suggestions?

What are y'alls thoughts?
