Magnet shift prevention

In searching the forums I found a ton of info on repairing shifted magnets on Monitors (7B w/Peerless tweeters in my case), but few on preventative measures.

My Monitor 7B magnets have not shifted and I'd like to make sure they never do. What is your best suggestion on how to achieve this?

    There's plenty of info here on gluing the magnets to prevent shifting.

    If there was ever an example of "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure"...gluing (good) magnets is it. I did all 8 of my drivers (4 speakers) last year before we moved.

    Can anyone help me find something on magnet glues?

    Saw where someone referenced lawdogg did some destructive testing.

    Tried searching lawdogg and could not find it.

    I think it would be a good read on his findings but zero luck so far finding this.

    Thanks y’all,
