Magnepan - convert to active crossovers

[EdGr]

My MG1.6s are rated at 86dB at 500Hz, 1 meter, and 2.83V. This is equivalent to 83dB/W.

I believe the 3-series Maggies have similar sensitivities. Keep in mind that the speaker's output rises by 6dB/octave below the corner frequency of the dipole compensation (700Hz for the MG1.6), and so frequency must be specified along with sensitivity.

The ribbon tweeters are 3 Ohm, there will be some Watts drawn from the amplifier.

Yes earlier in this thread StigE referred to the fact that the 500hz sensitivity rating is not representative of most of the FR.
