Blown Speaker in AR Sub


I have the Acoustic Research ARS112PS subwoofer (250 watt amp) and the subwoofer is blown. I am trying to decide if that enclosure/amp is good enough to buy a new 12 and what kind should I buy? Or should I spend about $250 over what just the woofer will cost and buy an HSU STF 10?

The sub will be matched with Dynaudio 50 L/R/C and Dynaudio 42 RS/LS.

If you have any other suggestions I would appreciate it.

Are you sure the sub is blown and not the amp? Try replacing the AC fuse in the sub's amplifier first. If that doesn't work I wouldn't put anymore than $50, or thereabouts, into a repair effort. But if the AR can be repaired inexpensively it's a pretty good little sub. I know, because I have two of them.
