I have a pair of S45-2 and a pair of S80. I understand the magnets on the S45-2 woofers should be reglued before they move, should the S80s also be glued ? I presume one would not recomend hot glue gun? would an Epoxi Resin such as Araldite be Ok. Or what suitable glue is available in England?
John.
Standard twin-component epoxy should do just fine - it is to be applied where the magnet (the black thing that goes around the back side) meets the back piece of the speaker.
Vinyl records, cassettes, open reel, valve amplifiers and film photography.
Thank you Soren, I will get S45-2 done. Anyone know if the woofers in the S80 are at risk and also need gluing ?
No risk so far with the Beovox S80.

Good to hear that.
Thank you, Martin.

Speaker body is essential to glue also, if Søren means back plate by "back piece", as back plate can move with magnet if glueing breaks between magnet and speaker body.
blah-blah and photographs as needed
