Hi all,

I have a pair of Warfedale 100watt rms 2way speakers that I bought
new in 1993 ish, and I think they might be cs30 model or something
like that.  Anyway, I managed to kick one of the cones, when moving
a lot of stuff out of my room into the small hallway to do some
painting, and I get distortion at about half volume.

I'm wondering if anyone has any experiences with replacing 
the woofer in these speakers, or other speakers, and what it
might cost me, and if it is really worth it?

They cost me $400 Australian back in 1993, and the next set of 
speakers I want will probably set me back $1000 Aus at least, so
if I can fix the woofer for 100 or so I might do it.

Thanks in advance.
