Is there a remedy?

Three years ago, I purchased a pair of Martin Logan 60XT towers.  Sometime after that, I had read a comment on YouTube that this speaker was not well-braced.  I tend not to listen at loud volumes and never noticed a distortion problem, but a few weeks ago I had the music turned up pretty loud and noticed a buzz in one speaker that I had not heard before (I had read that one of the improvements ML made to the 60XTi was better internal bracing). 
 

My question:  Is there an economical way to eliminate/reduce the buzzing when I choose to play music at a loud volume?

It could be something pretty stupid, like a wire flopping around or insualtion.  If you feel like pulling a driver out and looking it might be worthwhile.

That would drive me crazy. I would sell them and buy something better made. I would justify it as being "economical".

Is the front baffle removable?

The drivers look to be rear mounted and I do not see access to inside the cabinet (even @ the binding posts).

A buzz is usually a bad driver or a wire touching the speaker cone/element. Try to isolate if you can.

Buy some automotive sound deadening material like boom mat or norez. But make sure there there isn't something loose first.
