CELESTION SL6 Si - woofer replacement/repair


The woofer on one of my SL6 Si speakers has started "buzzing" on passages where there is heavy bass. Otherwise, I think it sounds fine. I assume the surround needs to be repaired, but that's just a guess. Is this something that can be repaired for not a lot of $? If so, any recommendations? Alternatively, could I just swap in a replacement woofer (if one can be located)? If that would work, any recommendations re: where to find replacement parts? Thanks!

Yes - they really are great speakers, though not my primary ones at this point. I think you're right about having to keep my eye out for an old set for sale to cannibalize. I suppose it's not too far-fetched to imagine someone ending up with just one speaker for some reason and looking to unload that. But I probably shouldn't hold my breath.
thanks for all the great feedback. what should i do (if anything) to determine what the source of the buzzing is? - i don't want to do anything to make things worse if i can help it, obviously. this may not be a good thing to do, but i very very gently applied a feather-light amount of pressure to the surround while it was playing and the buzzing went away - not sure what that might indicate.
