Wilson Watt Puppy 5.1 diffraction pads and resistors


I bought a used set of Wilson Watt Puppy 5.1s and they need some work.  Looking for thoughts and advice..

1. Midrange drivers don't work.  I've ordered new resistors hoping that fixes the problem. Wilson gave me some instructions but any other advice is welcomed on how to replace and what issues I might run into.

2. Diffraction pads were removed and left a sticky residue. Removal seems easy but makes me nervous.  Any advice here?

3. Some have said they prefer the to leave the diffraction pads off, others prefer the diffraction pads on claiming they sound bright without them.  Thought here?

Thanks,

Remove the midrange driver and put a meter on it for continuity.  If it tests good problem is in the crossover.  Goo Gone will take care of all sticky residue with no problems.  Did you know the speaker had a non working midrange when you bought it?
