Greetings!
 
My MX500 handpiece went open in the handle. Does anybody know how to take it
apart?

After asking the guy for more info about the speakers, as you asked what
there were, I now suspect the problem is his end* and he's getting it
back as it is.
 
But details anyway, since you asked.

I was using a pair of 8 ohm 100W standard metal cased cermet WW
resistors on a big metal plate. One for each channel, obviously.
 
But it does the same with a pair of cheap Gale 3010S speakers as well.

See answer above :)

I have been told they are Kef R300, so not that expensive, but I
wouldn't like to be buying them. I don't know if they are good speakers
or not.
 
He runs them bi-wired, apparently. Personally, I fail to see why running
two pairs of cables to the same speaker from a paralleled pair of output
posts on the *same channel* makes any difference. But I'm sure it must
or they wouldn't do it :)
I have asked the guy to double check the wiring for problems**.

The one I'm using for this is an old analogue Leader LS8050 50Mhz crt
scope. I do have a modern Rigol digital 'scope as well fwiw.
 
 
*Apparently, according to the guy, it's been "trigger happy" from new,
but it's been "more sensitive" after a recent speaker move.
 
** So I suspect the speaker wring, but he's plenty capable of sorting
that out.
 
I'm not interested in trying to deal with a potential design/build
issue. If he wants it modified he can find someone else to do that.
