Selling Damaged Magicos

Recently, my wife and I decided to convert our media room to a dedicated theater. I didn't want to pay the price for a Magico center to go with my S1s, so I decided to sell them. When the buyer received them, neither woofer would work. I'm kind of torn between sending them to Magico and paying round trip shipping across the country or just trying to sell them as salvage. There is no external damage. I won't have a use for them after they are fixed as I have a new set of speakers already. Any thoughts on selling as salvage?

The guy you sold them to could've had the same speakers and switched his defective parts into your speakers, happens all the time, where are you located? Maybe one of the members here that lives near you and knows how to work on speakers and diagnose the problem can help you out, It's simple to do and only takes a few minutes to figure out what's wrong with them.

I am getting various readings from 1.0 - 190.0+ when I touch the leads.
Then it sounds like something is wrong with the meter.  It should read very close to zero ohms when the leads are touched together, and the reading should be steady aside perhaps for a fluctuation of 1 count in the least significant digit.

All I can suggest at this point is to try the suggestions made by Peter (pbnaudio) and Paul79.

Good luck.  Regards,

Actually, my dealer is no longer a Magico dealer, so they told me to contact Magico. I went to their online contact form but haven't heard from them. I ended up selling the damaged speakers at a big discount.
