Good afternoon, New to Beoworld after inheriting a Beocentre7700 which I have had for a few months playing through a pair of Mission speakers. Ordered a pair of s45-2 speakers advertised as working however one woofer is not working as it should. I wired it directly and the sound is weak and tinny and I ask from the photo attached if someone can advise if the magnet has moved. If so can someone on Beoworld repair these as I am no where near competent to do so myself. Many thanks in anticipation of any forthcoming helpful advice. Regards, Victor. Login to view image

S45-2 Woofer Problem

I'm surprised the speaker gives any sound whatsoever....the magnet has clearly shifted, I can sort that out if you get it to me.

Good morning Craig, Thanks for your reply. Yes please I would be most grateful if you could repair the speaker. We are visiting our son and returning home on 18th so would send it then. Please you give me your address and repair fee.
Regards Victor
Hi
Can you check that the speaker coil still measures around 4ohms first, if the coil is broken its probably terminal...i will send you a pvt message with my details in the meantime. Check the post in here S45- Repair for pics of the procedure i carry out

Ok
This arrived in the post today.......been expecting it.
Well packaged up and looking like its survived the postal system...
However I have to say I've not seen one looking quite so battered, everything looking askew....must have taken quite a knock.
Engineers vice once again, always a scary exercise as pulling things apart can cause more damage, firm upward pull keeping everything level..
Came apart cleanly leaving the coil behind and, apart from a very slight inward burr, looking in good shape. The coil moves freely in the frame with no scratching on the sides and overall should be fine. You can see from the traces of adhesive on the frame that not a lot was applied during manufacturing
This is odd however......not seen this in the several I have taken apart, some sort of alluminium ring. Anyone got an explanation ? As can be seen the core has also dethatched itself from the backplate, the backplate and ferrite magnet will also need to be seperated.
