Making further progress!

Hi Neo,
Well I removed those nasty resistors and went over some solder joints. The joints did look browner on the speaker with the duller tweeter. Things do seem better now, - perhaps the tweeters are not 100% balanced but there are closer and better than befor, - I might be able to fine tune with a 0.5 ohm resistor in the louder one or something. Its certainly not worth buying a new tweeter from Magnepan, - it will set me back about $700 with the shipping at least, - its not worth the money.
I didn't measure the resistance of the tweeters yet yet but the tweeter gap at the back is about 4.5 mm so I am pretty sure they are the later 3 ohms tweeters with the smaller gap. I remember the tweeters on my Dads MGIIIs looking wider in that gap than these do.

Am sorting out my crossover and things are progressing nicely. The main hurdle to come is sorting out the banana peel on the bass panel of these speakers!, - not looking forward to that. Hopefully the DAP contact cement I ordered from the USA will arrive so so I can get on with this pain of a job!

All the best,
Colin
