Have a friend who already recommended that, and a can on order. Cheers.

I appreciate everyone’s responses! It turns out that it is the amplifier. One thing I realized I forgot to test was just swapping the L/R channels (should have been step number 1). When I did that, the issue went to the other speaker. This is good news for me because the speaker is more valuable and less replaceable than the amp, so now I’m working on figuring out the issue with the amp.

Hi- having a new issue with a speaker and seeking advice on whether to attempt repair myself or find a local servicer. I have a pair of Heresy IIIs that we have enjoyed for maybe 6 years now. Just today, one of the two speakers started crackling/popping sounds sporadically. I checked and reset all exterior connections and swapped the speaker wire with the one connecting to the opposite speaker, and the issue continues, so I think it’s something internal to the speaker. I removed the grill and noticed that I can trigger some crackling when I press around the edge of the woofer. I don’t currently have the right size hex driver to remove the woofer and not sure whether I should find a driver first and try to open it up myself, or find a local repair shop (never messed with a speaker before, but definitely want to repair this one). Appreciate any advice.
