Selling Damaged Magicos
If there is a qualified technician in your area, you can just order new woofers from Magico, and have them installed. You didn't mention whether the damaged speakers are in your possession, but if they are, it's an alternative to shipping the entire Magico speaker there and back. There's got to be an alternative to selling them as salvage. Best of luck, Dan |
vgrubb Hi. This is tragic, there is a way the woofers could be damaged in transport, if they were dropped very hard, but both woofer is questionable. Seeing there was no external damage this is unlikely. The other way is if the buyers amp went dc on both channels, this will cook the voice coils of both bass drivers only, as the tweeter is protected by a coupling cap in the xover. If you can use a screwdriver? The only way is to take the bass drivers out, there are external screws holding them in, make a note of which coloured wire goes to switch coloured terminal + or - there are only two, and send the drivers only back to Magico for inspection to see if the voice coils have been cooked, they can do a re-cone (with voice coil) if it's needed I'm sure. If the voice coils were cooked, then you have a grievance to deal with the buyer. Or if you don't want to go through all this sell them as is and cop the loss on the chin, I'm in Australia wish I could buy them! Cheers George
