Well some bad news today. I decided to head into Orange County Speaker to have the Alnico magnets re-magnetized today. Supposedly Alnico can de-mag up to about 1% per year and more if subjected to shock. So, OCS took them in the back to "test" while I was there and came back on one and said the voice coil was rubbing. I didn't hear anything when I took them out and compressed, but I have to assume the one was like that. OCS charges for re-mag'ing where Great Plains Audio includes this with a re-cone so I'm just going to send them in and expecting to be without LF drivers for a few weeks. Good news. I bet they'll sound a hell of a lot better when I get them back re-charged.
