A dropped magnet in Audio Research center channel..!?

[TroyHR]

Sorry, I meant Acoustic Research...
I picked up my home theater center channel speaker only to hear and feel something rolling around inside...So I opened it and found a center tweeter and two midrange cones. The adhesive used had turned brittle and the round magnet on the tweeter had broke free. So, I used super glue to reattach it. But, There are no copper wires connecting the magnet to the windings behind the cone...!? The magnet is just sitting there. Is this correct? Does it have a function...?
Any opinion at all would really be great. Thankyou for reading..

Hmm... I might be inclined to contact AR and see if they have a replacement tweeter for you.

Hi Tony, try searching for "speaker magnet voice coil" keywords... Google is your frenemy... The magnet usually is not wired while the voice coil is... If you are unfamiliar with speaker design and DIY Todd has excellent advice...
