That's what I was thinking also Adrian, seems a little odd that the same drivers on two different speakers quit working.

Oh, I got the impression it was on just one of the speakers.

I think we may have a little miscommunication issue going on here, John ... would that be because our wires are crossed maybe?

If it were only ONE speaker, I'm sure the difference in DB levels of the two fronts would have been a give-away after running Audyssey.

You guys are less helpful when you're drinking.

It was just one of the speakers and both of the woofers were not working. The other M80 works just fine.

I will try the bare wire and see if that does make a difference. It does make me nervous to unscrew anything on those speakers in fear of not being able to put them back together correctly.

As far as getting in touch with the previous owner, he promptly responded to my email and said he would see if he could help out in any way.

Okay...I just tried everything I thought I could try:

-I unscrewed each woofer and slowly pulled it out. The wires seemed secure on both sides of each woofer

-I unscrewed the back panel and all the wires were secure there as well.

-Tried taking the banana plug off and running just the bare wire but the "washer" was blocking that from happening.

-Then I tried switching the connections from the bottom to the top on each speaker.

-Finally I switched the speakers around to see if the issue might have been in the speaker wire but it wasn't.

So I guess I am going to call Axiom tomorrow and see what they say. I am hoping since the speaker is barely a year old, they will help me out. Surprisingly, I think I might be able to fix it myself with a replacement part.. We shall see.

I guess now I just enjoy my setup minus the woofers in one speaker..lol
