RE: Tympani IVA

Steve,

Magnepan sells kits of the wire or foil and glue at a nominal cost if you need those supplies.

For stretching, check out some of the guys who build electrostatics. One way to do it as I recall is to use a dowel fixture and double-sided tape. You could then tune the resonance by ear if you have the original figures (written on the label on the driver). I think those figures are for a new diaphragm, that is, not yet broken in.

However, the mylar usually holds up. If you just have one driver with a bad problem you could remove the driver and ship that to Magenpan to reduce the freight charges.

Someone also did a write up here on a DIY repair of a Tympani 1D tweeter, those are more difficult because they have magnet assemblies on both the front and back.
