Do the repair work and keep them! Still an excellent speaker system! No need to replace them!
Maggie 1.6 noise
Good morning. I've been wrestling with noise coming from the right channel of my stereo. When the needle hits the record it almost sounds like a rock-tumbler (but much quieter). Started trying to isolate the source including replacing the cartridge (different story). After switching tubes, amps, turntables (same problem), sources (pretty quiet when streaming), I happened to move the right Maggie a little without music playing and there was the sound. This time it was more of a rattle seemingly from the top left (non-treble) side of the speaker. Dealer wants about $500 just to open the bad boy up! They are at least 15 years old. Have moved a few times (always boxed). The question is . . . repairable? Is it worth it with what appears to be a lot of well reviewed speakers on the market? I have an Audio Research vi 55 integrated. I play a lot of records on a VPI Scout (Karat cartridge). THANKS IN ADVANCE for your consideration.
