Re: Advice: Restoring Ascends from Kid Abuse
I would not be at ease if I knew anything was inside my Ascends. I think you should be alright opening them up via removing the woofer. Any metal objects, particularly ferrous metals, will be attracted to the driver's magnetic flux field. Although they may be stuck to the magnet and not rattle, I would still prefer that the drivers are free of any foreign objects. My main concern is that it would somehow shunt the magnetic field and cause some change in the speakers performance. I'm sure Dave can give you a more informed response than that, but that is my feeling on this.
