Congratulations! Just about to send the woofer of my M100 off for similar treatment. Though seeing the size of the magnet, I think it will need a crowbar!

Yet another steely-eyed missile-man.  Well done and congratulations!

Great job Orava!

I'm the current bass locked owner of a pair of P45's :-(

Having very limited workshop/tool access, are you by any chance nearby Helsinki or know of any clever Helsinkian able to preform this 'operation'?

Cheers,

Glenn

Yes I'am. P45's woofers alike?

They are different to your S45's in that the P45's have 2 smaller woofers in each speaker.

The locking symptom from shifting magnet and your remedy seem similar in both cases.

I'm extremely grateful for any help your able to offer.
