Vandersteen problem

I am currently trying out a pair of 2CE speakers and notice distortion in 1 speaker with fairly low frequency present. If I lightly place my outstretched had against the rim of the woofer the distortion goes away. Is this a sign of a bad woofer or could it be something much simpler and less costly? I would imagine due to the nature of their construction I'll have to cart them off to a dealer?

Its probably the Rim seal on the front 8 inch woofer
if you don't have a local Vandersteen dealer to bring
it to you can
remove bases flip it upside down remove the screws and
lower wood panel slowly from the back with a flat wide blade
screwdriver now pull out all staples and pull down the
fabric inspect the 8 inch and you may see the problem.
remove driver and call vandersteen for repair reinstall driver and staple back the grill evenly and you are finished .
