"So, could anyone please shed light on how to pull socks on 20r"?

I'll add my comment in case you're one of these people who don't want to listen to what's said ... but if 3 people say the same thing, it might sink in.

If you think "taking the socks" off is all you need to do ... you obviously haven't closely examined your MG-20Rs? So, press your hand against the socks, front & back. On the other side of the mid-line of the overall panels from the ribbon, you will feel something hard - both front & back. This is the 'pole piece' - the holey metal sheet which supports the magnet arrays.

As you can feel this sheet front & back (under the sock), you should realise that the mylar is sandwiched in between - this means that it is a major difficulty to deal with de-lam.

You should also feel that the mid panel only has magnets one side (for the 20Rs only - the 20.1s & 20.7s have magnets both sides of the mid panel as well as the bass panel). So re-laying mid wires on a 20R is definitely feasible for a DIYer.

You decided to go for the improved bass delivery of the 20.Rs which comes from having magnets both sides of the mylar ... the penalty for this is that you have to send them back to Magnepan, for repair. And, as someone else posted - probably, they bin them and give you new panels!

I suggest you shouldn't complain about this - being in 'Noo Joyzie', you are privileged, compared to Maggie owners in other parts of the world.

Good luck,

Andy
