One of my Centaur Ribbons got ripped several years ago. I have had the speakers stored away for several years since they never sounded great in my new house. I have recently done some remodeling in my home and while the room was empty I pulled a set of my Magnepans out of storage and played with them for a bit. I immedately fell in love with my my Planar speakers again and it makes me want to get my Apogees working again. Does anyone have any advice on how I could go about attempting to repair the ribbon on my left speaker? I have read people suggesting using silver conductive paint or conductive epoxy. Most of the reviews I have read of the conductive paint complain of the lack of adhesive properties of the paint. I need to fully fuse the ribbon back together so I would like something that would hold together pretty well. I was wondering about copper conductive tape but not sure if that would work. I am just looking for a somewhat temporary fix to see if I still love these speakers in my new room. If I do, I will probably purchase a new set of ribbons from Graz. Thanks for any advice.

Graz at Apogee Acoustics sells new replacement ribbons. Not sure how easy or difficult they are to install? But Graz seems super nice on forum chatter, so I'm sure he could give some advice on how to proceed. Plus, there are a couple of approved repair sites in the U.S. They could be an option too.
Good luck..., and Welcome...!
