A few years back I rewired the woofer panels on my 2.5's. The wires were beginning to come loose from the mylar en mass so I set out to rewire & re-glue everything down. Got one panel done but half way through the other, the old 23ga aluminum wire had a little more flex than it could take and it snapped on me. I made a repair, finished the job and everything worked so I thought I was in the clear. Life was good, I was enjoying my Maggies but slowly the imaging started to move over to one speaker. After troubleshooting everything I measured the speaker resistance and found one was measuring at 12-ohms! Since it was winter, I got distracted by the dark side (box speakers) and dallied there for a while. After blowing both EMIT's in my Infinities, the voice of reason said get out the re-wire kit I had previously ordered from Magnepan and get on it. After all, It was just one panel that needed repair. A tedious job for sure, but the hard part is done.
While the 3M 30F dries I'll put my stands back together and assemble the crossovers.
It's been a few years, but the Maggies will sing again TODAY!
