I’m not a high end, or even a mid-grade cable guy, but after a recent Ask Paul video (loudspeaker cable length) where he featured MG speaker cables, I went to their website, only to get Go Daddy. Am I looking at the wrong website? http://mgaudiodesign.com/
I believe that’s the website. Looks like they’re no longer in business.
The wayback machine reveals what happened. This is from the Jan 5, 2020, version of their web site. Here is the link to the wayback machine coverage of their site.

Here is the text from the page:
"We are saddened to bring you news of the recent passing of Greg Graff, the co-founder of MG Audio Design and a friend of many who came to know Greg and appreciate his kind and generous nature.
Greg was a true and passionate music lover and advocate for playback sound system improvement. He was always striving to improve his own audio system and helped, through MG Audio, to improve the systems of friends and acquaintances around the world. His leadership and passion will be sorely missed."

Sorry to hear that. I met Greg a few times, and owned and enjoyed one of his speaker cables.
Great guy, and very passionate about his cables and audio.
They are not. Unfortunately, after the passing of one of the partners, Greg, the business was shuttered. They were wonderful cables.
Mike at the dealer Audio Archon in Chicago area will still source MG Audio products and help with service I believe. I purchased interconnects and speaker cables about a year and a half ago. I am willing to sell them if you are interested. Here is the link to Audio Archon

HI Paul, I sent this question to “Ask Paul” but I don’t think it is the kind of question for that forum, so I’m following up with this just hoping you might have a moment to reply. I have Infinity IRS Betas as my speakers, which I love and am trying to find someome who would update the servo control unit and the electronics-caps, electrolytes, whatever–that are likely drying out or otherwise in need of replacing after all these year. The speakers seem to be working perfectly but I’m thinking it’s surely time to update these components. I have read that PS Audio did this sort of thing, but if not, do you have anyone know who does? I appreciate your advice and all that you do. My email is korykatseanes@gmail.com, and my phone is 801-671-6475. I live in Provo, Utah, so I’m actually able to bring you my speakers if miraculously you were able to do this. Cheers and best wishes. Kory
Welcome!
I had the Betas from late 80s to about 2010 and the only problem was the woofer surrounds rotting.
Replacing external crossover parts should be doable for a good tech as long as you have the correct parts. However my dealer at the time was repairing the crossover in the panels (for another customer) and he said it was a nightmare to work on. I would suggest looking for someone with experience with the panels. Hopefully Paul can help.

The crossovers are very easy to work on and parts are available. I did mine recently.

That’s good to hear, maybe the person doing the work I mentioned wasn’t up to it.
It’s actually pretty easy
Boy, I wish I could. I really don’t know anyone that can do that. I wound up just replacing there IRS woofers with ones Chris felt were better.
