What do they do when they "refurbish" something like a 3.6? Do they repair the existing bass / midrange panels or put in new ones?

  It depends on in which state the drivers are. If the Mylar is okey, they will just fit new wiring. I do not think they have new panels for old speakers. As far as I know, they do not repair the Tympani tweeters, they supply new ones or at least they did a few years ago.

    Maybe I'll make it there some day. I'd probably try to visit Audio Research too. I lived in the area 40 years ago but neither company was on my radar back then.
    
    Out of curiosity, what brings you to the US?

I recall seeing want ads a year or so ago from Magnepan seeking a repair tech(s), I know the one gentleman who helped me with my true ribbon tweeter had retired right around the height of COVID.

Good to see them back in the repair game!

  Visited Magnepan this morning and I saw a pair Tympanis and MG 3.6 being refurbished. It seems they have made some changes at the factory from what I have seen earlier in articles. They have no speakers for demo at all except for some LRS at the entrance. Full production of LRS+ now.

    I called to ask about my order and they told me they were not in production.
    
    Communication... not their strong suit.

      I saw this a few days ago, LRS or LRS+, I can't tell. MDF is the same and they had quite a few. Batches up to 700 or so.
