Totem Model One: Woofer buzzing, help please?

Hi I just got a pair of these >10 year old Totem Model 1s. I love the sound but there is this "buzzing" coming from the woofer when I play certain bass heavy tracks.

My amp is barely past 9.30-10 oclock position, so its not as if I am blasting it.

Considering the age of these speakers, Has my woofer blown?

Would a solution be as simple as getting a replacement pair of woofers and hooking them up?

If so,

a) Can I get them directly from Totem (I'm in asia and don't want to have to go to the "authorized dealer" who will most probably charge me an arm and a leg for the replacement parts)

b) Is it easy to replace woofers myself? I'm pretty handy, but if there is a lot of complicated soldering/other not so obvious things involved, it might be better to leave it to the pros.

Thanks :)

If you need to replace/rebuild the driver, go to Madisound:

http://www.madisound.com/catalog/index.php?manufacturers_id=125&osCsid=26513875b73e10120b3bf3906b8ff8a3)

They can rebuild Dynaudio drivers and are authorized to do so (they were one of the vendors that sold Dynaudio drivers to the hobbyist 10 years ago). They have the related $$ charges for rebuilds on their website (per model). However, you have to send in your drivers to prove they are "authentic" Dynaudio drivers. What they actually do is completely replace them with new drivers (on an exchange basis).
