next step with magnepan mmgs?

hi, i am using mmgs that i have braced and damped the mdf using the "razor" mod. this is a budget system with all emotiva electronics and mac/pure music /v-dac as my source. i recently put togeather some morrow audio sp-6 speaker wires to go with my ma-2 ics. the sp-6 addition [compared to sp-2] is one of the most amazing changes in a system i have experienced in 4 decades of building systems. you have to trust me on this...haha. is it time to change the xover? i have room treatment, good ac treatment and ac cords. if anyone has done this and achieved great result please tell me how to go. thanks. i would to keep it simple and affordeable. like 200 or less. i have read about the skiing ninja but just too expensive right now....thanks john

Two inexpensive reversible DIY that may make a big difference:

Remove the speaker connection plate and wire around the fuses. To me, this increased the mid and high range resolution and broadened the soundstage.

Also, get them off the floor. Some use stands, but I simple constructed a mdf base with feet to lift them about four inches. The bass tightened and the additional height brought the speakers into focus to my listening position.

I have also switched out Sonic caps for the OEM caps, but noticed little difference.

Good luck.
