Absolutely right, Bernie. It would be interesting
to observe the magnetic flux pattern on those old
Warfdales, and see if it affected the tapes at that
short distance. It is possible that, after a time,
the tapes on each end of the MK2 may exibit some
high-frequency loss due to magnet proximity. I would
think the Streetly engineers considered this, and
chose appropriate drivers. Finding full-range
shielded replacement drivers would be optimum
(hopefully the acoustic properties match the old
drivers).
You can lace shoes, too. But that 3/8" stuff is
mighty expensive out of the box.
