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?

If it for sure is cabinet/driver/wire buzz then the suggestions are competent.  I experienced an omnidirectional buzz for weeks.  Turned out it was a ceiling heating vent.  Dampened it with poster putty.  Best of luck solving.  Cheers

+1 on Cabinet/driver/wire are the most likely culprits

I had internal wire buzz in martin logans in both speakers. The wires will buzz either against the driver, cabinet or the crossover components. Fixed it with self adhesive weather tape in the places where wire was close to other components.

Maybe start off by tightening the driver fasteners first? The do get a bit loose over time.
