Clumsy bastard

Vintage Asylum

Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

I'm tackling my first refoaming job on a pair of Advent/1 speakers given to me by a buddy. The actual refoaming is going fine, but I dropped one of the damn woofers. It might be my imagination, but it seems that the dropped woofer has less margin of error than the undropped woofer when it comes to having a free range of movement -- I get more voice-coil rub when doing the push test, although it's still fairly easy to find a sweet spot where it's noise-free.
So I have three questions: 1/ Could I have knocked something out of alignment (it pretty much landed on the edge of the magnet, with no visible damage to magnet or frame)? 2/ As long as it's able to move without noise, will it be fine to make music? 3/ If something did get knocked sideways or loose, can I fix it?
