Thank you for the very interesting post. I am amazed that you were able to get all those components into such a small space.
For myself, the advice that "some battles should not be fought" applies to my current attempt to implement the GR-Research mod on my Magnepan 0.7s: I'm going external.
I have looked at posts about mods to LRS and 1.7 but not higher priced panels.
A surprising thing to me is how similar are the crossovers, even though the prices are nearly doubling for each step up the product line.
Also surprising to me is that the X-mod offered by Magnepan doubles the price of the speaker regardless of how much the non-X version costs.
My 0.7 speakers cost me $1500 in 2018 and would cost $2000 now, but the 0.7x would cost $4000.
Audio reviews lead me to believe that I could have my 0.7 speakers upgraded to x status for only $2000.
However, when I attempted to communicate with the service department by various means, they have not responded at all.
I had come to believe that if I wanted to upgrade, I would need to sell my current speakers, probably for about half of what I paid, and buy a new $4000 pair from a dealer.
I can tell you that I was overjoyed to find that an upgrade is available for such a reasonable price from GR-Research.
