Glad you got them working, the only way to tell if the neo magnet coating has failed and peeled away is to disassemble the old mid range driver and pull the cone and coil from the frame so to be able to look inside and inspect the neo wafer for peeling, the neo wafer is part of the pole piece, the peeling of the neo magnet cannot be seen from the outside of the driver because the voice coil will be blocking your view of the neo magnet, the neo wafer is mounted in the center of the coil, if i were you i would connect the old mid to your amp or receiver, play some piano music and listen for any buzzing, you could use a capacitor if you want on the positive side to cross it over but i don't think you need a cap if you don't play it too loud, if you hear any buzzing coming from the driver then i would disassemble the driver to inspect for peeling, i did the same as you when i replaced my mid with a new driver, the driver looks perfectly fine till you disassemble it and see the faulty neo coating peeling, that's when i got pisses at HK, this should never happen to a $10,000 speaker and if it does they should be responsible and support their products.
