We recently moved across the country, and thankfully the vast majority of our electronic gear arrived without incident. I am, however, a little vexed by two minor repairs that I need to make: Our set of Quintet III speakers came through without any damage, but one of the two drivers in the center channel seems to have come detached from the front housing (it's loose inside the enclosure now). I need to figure out how to open it up, and would like to open the satellites up as well because some styrofoam packing peanuts managed to get inside them (oops). Something also seems to have come slightly loose inside the amplifier for my ProMedia 2.1 computer speakers. The left side output has some intermittent static on it. For all I know, something got inside that enclosure too and knocked a wire loose, or it could be something more serious than soldering/cleaning...can't tell yet. However I'd really like some sort of repair manual before I go mucking around in there. Does anybody know where I can find some documentation on how to properly disassemble speaker units from these two series? Thanks in advance!

Sadly I just received one of these in the mail after reading this post - and it doesn't thread into the back of my Quintet III center channel speaker. It appears the threads on the bolt coming out of the ball are thicker/wider than the ones inside the speaker. The diameter of the shaft looks right but it doesn't screw in. Anyone have any ideas?ETA - Okay now I have more useful information to share with this question. Just to make sure I wasn't crazy, I took my Omnimount 10.0 and my Quintet III center speaker to a hardware store. I verified that the Omnimount 10.0 is 1/4" with a 20 thread just as one would expect. However the insert in the back of my Quintet center speaker is not 1/4" - 20, nor is it even 1/4" - 28. It's metric! It's a perfect fit with an "M6" bolt. Trying to avoid returning the Monimount through the mail for a partial refund, I've been scouring the Internet for a M6 male to 1/4" - 20 female threaded rod adpater but no luck so far (all the M6 ones seem to be 1/4" - 28).
