...why not replace all the wire while the speakers are apart? From your posting I got the impression that only the dead panels were being sent out. Maybe I misread that.
You read correctly - the first thought was to just send off the dead panels. But I am seeing my mate on Sunday, so will ask him whether he wants to send them all off - rather than 2 now ... and the other 2 in 'X' years time, when they inevitably fail.
There are 2 advantages with proceeding with the current plan, though:
1. he still gets to listen to some great speakers while he waits for 2 failed panels to come back from the refurb. :-))
2. 2 bass panels fit inside the ply 'coffins' that I made for my own Frankenpan bass panels (for shipping protection) - 4 bass panels won't.
My T-1C and all the T-1D I recall had "L" bracket feet that facilitated any alignment of the panels.
These panels have some chrome 'mushrooms' (about 1"D) nailed to their bases - not the usual T-feet. They were removed when the burlap socks were stripped off - and won't be needed with the braced stands.
Regards,
Andy
