So here we go. Bought this 8w7-Ae from someone who claims it is brand new and never used. I didn’t realize anything shady when we meet with his positive attitude and all the excitement. This is my first time ever seeing a W7 in person and it just seems weird, weird enough to create an account and start asking questions...
Let me start off by saying that the top and center seem to be real. The Logo, Foam, and Voice Coil seem like factory condition but what do I know. The foam has some creases and a hole the size of a finger nail, like it was punctured. Will this have any long term performance effects ?
The main reason I am posting this is because the magnet does not look right to me. All the pictures have a huge bulky deep black magnet. Nothing like my pictures, They look worn down and glued. Literally looks like someone slapped two small ass magnets together and glued it. The “serial number“ says it was made in 2014. I read online the older models can be different. Could this be the case? The internet is no help I can’t find ****. There is nothing about w7’s anywhere, I have been looking for days... so can anyone help me? Ask me questions if you have to. I just want to get to the bottom of this.
So please help with the following,
1.) Will a finger nail size hole effect anything or eventually start ripping? Along with the creases??
2.) How does the speakers top and internals look to you?
3.) Does the magnet seem legit for its age ?
