Repair or Replace my JM Labs Micron Carats


I have a pair of Micron Carat Ti speakers and one of the woofers has gone. A new woofer is $200.

Do you think it's wise to repair the dead one or replace with something else - I doubt I could spend more than $800-$1000. Below is a list of what my local guy carries that might fit my budget.

Anthony Gallo - A'diva Ti
EPOS - Epic 2 or Elan 10
PSB - Imagine Mini or maybe Imagine B.
Quad - 11L
Revel - Concerta M12
Totem - Mite

The rest of the system is a Creek 4330 Integrated Amp, Rotel RCD-02 CD player, Wavelength Proton USB DAC.

I used to build speakers in the 90s using focal, seas, audax, etc... I remember the focal as being dry sounding, not much upper-bass when compared to seas drivers in the same box.
Therefore, my vote would go for the psb...
or maybe someone like zalytron can get you the driver for far less than $200.
I would definetely keep the boxes, keep the tweeters, and have zalytron design a nice x-over with new woofers... worth checking into it imho; you could update your micron with a super kit for less money than if you would buy a new pair.
