Interesting point. Thanks for bringing it up. My brother keeps a pair
of Maggies (MG1) that I snagged for him some years ago... they were
far too large for my use then and now, but he keeps them under near-
ideal conditions by way of humidity and temperature. They are lovely
speakers which he treasures.


Be very careful with storage, indeed. Moisture is killing.
When the aluminium wires oxidize (and they *will* ), they're on their
way out.
The lucky thing is, one can rewire them relatively easy:

Thank you for this. I have archived it against the eventuality. I will
be the one doing the work. My brother is the writer, I am the one with
the good hands.
