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.

If your looking for more bass or fuller sounding speakers, you might as well fix the woofer, and get a subwoofer. That's what a lot of people with bookshelf speakers do. I am personally not a great advocate of subwoofers, thus I leave it to others who use them to guide you.
The best and most legit way to select a different speaker is to audition them. If your local store has these choices in stock, why not try them? I might have misunderstood your post.
