Well I heard from Mick at Magnepan this morning, and my speakers are finished and working perfectly again. He said that they should be shipping out by the end of the week, early Xmas gift for sure.

Well my speakers were delivered 9:30 this morning! I set them up,haven't listened yet,probably later this evening,busy day with the wife. They smell new! Lol. Room is still setup for movies,have to put the panels back up in front of the screen...multi purpose room lol.
Put the panels up,connected everything,so far so good! I'm noticing that something doesn't sound quite right,I assume everything needs to warm up,15 minutes later still not right,scratching my head. I go to check connections again and noticed that I forgot to remove the tweeter protection strips! Memory goes first they say lol,sounding right now!
Put the panels up and reconnected everything,and I'm listening,things sound good but something is not right :-/ I get up to check the connections everything is fine. It's been awhile,Tha. It hits me like a ton of bricks...I forgot to take off for tweeter protection strips,sounding great now! First thing to go is memory so I hear lol.
didn't realize this posted,I was using my phone normally I use my computer.
Yeah, they sound better without the tweeter protectors on :)
I've got one of mine apart with no sock and my wires look fantastic. 2007 is that date stamped on them (my, time flies, but yes that is when I bought them)
How old are your 3.6R's to have the wires delaminating?
I bought mine around 10 years ago from a friend of mine,I don't remember the original build date but they were built before the type of or gluing process was changed for the better. If you want you can contact Magnepan with the serial numbers and they will let you know if yours have the better glue or the older glue type. No delamination is a good thing for sure.
21 day turnaround is incredible! Seems like Magnepan has sorted out their issues.
Let us know how they look and sound once you get them back. They'll need to break-in all over again.
Yes can't wait to get them back.
Break-in is when they got new Mylar.
Yes that is true, it's been a good few years that they haven't sounded like they should without any buzzing or any other anomalies.
