Patient is a Monitor Audio GR60 3 way floor standing speaker.
Midrange driver is not playing on one speaker.
Swapped midrange drivers to verify driver is good, It is.
Crossover is suspected to be the issue, I'd like to fix it myself but am fairly new to hifi, and completely new to crossover design.
The speaker has 3 bannana plug inputs, along with 4 Individual speaker connections inside (2 woofers, 1 mid(the issue), and one tweeter.
I've tried to narrow down to just the one circuit highlighting the exterior terminals, and the relevant components.
Looking for help to identify what is at fault and to replace. My instinct is to play a low signal through the mid range terminal, to a junky driver, and one by one bridge the caps and coils with a jumper lead.
I've done my best to try and highlight the paths that are hidden by components. the Green line i'm not too sure about...

It is not an everyday sight that crossover parts are faulty, rather a driver gets to be damaged but since this is a pcb carrying all the parts, the solder joints could be faulty. Check every one, including wire connections.
Thanks for the reply Lojzek, I'll check the solder points a little more closely, visually they all looked alright.
Would it be advisable to test the components by jumping them with a test lead?

First resolder all the joints, then if it still does not work, get every component of the midrange network out of the circuit for test purposes, with an LCR meter or a multimeter.
