Thanks to all for the replies. I have received replacement costs for the 2 woofers and am leaning towards the repair route. Gil, Just to clarify, when you say "cost of replacement" you meant the entire driver and not just the voice coil? Once a driver is blown you have to replace it and it can't be fixed, correct? Sorry if this is an inane question, but I'm a total newbie to speaker construction. Thanks.

I've been a Klipsch owner for over 10 years and never knew about this forum (never had a problem before )! What a great asset. Now to my problem: I believe I must have overdriven my KV-3 center speaker. Neither midrange woofer is working and they make a slight crunching sound when you push on the cones. The tweeter does work. I inspected the crossover and I saw no obviously burned components (I'm no tech though). Given its age, is this speaker worth fixing? If the speaker is worth fixing, any hints on further trouble shooting? If its not worth fixing, what should I consider as a replacement? I'm not in the market to upgrade my whole system so I want something that would blend well with my mains. My current L & R fronts are KG-3.5's. Thanks for any input.
