Slipknot1,
I had a pair of MG-1c's since 1984 which I babied for 13 years when I managed to knock one over. The speaker fell flat on its face onto a carpeted floor and the impact shattered the mylar diaphragm. Other than that, there was no other damage. Magnepan rebuilt that speaker in 1997 and offered to rebuild the other one for free at the same time because they thought the voicing could be different and they wanted them to sound the same. I recently purchased a used pair of 2.6R's and the 1-c's are are not being used at the moment but are in excellent condition. I found Magnepan to be a terrific company so you might want to contact them about rebuilding/repair. Hope this helps.
