Seems that I've hurt the woofers on a pair of the subject speakers.
Question is would it be better in the long run to replace the drivers
with OEM (Sheffield 1500), or go with a different brand? I don't want
to have to do this often.

Thanks in advance,

Ernst

Recone should be cheaper than replacement. Depending on where you live,
it should be an easy enough proposition.

This kind of question should be *cross-posted* not multi-posted to
individual groups.

This tactic causes huge irritation amongst those who vdsit the likely
groups only to find that their answer in one place doesn't appear elswhere
you asked.

Unless you're prepared to re-engineer the crossover and possibly change
the cabinet venting, you want to use the original drivers.

If you don't want to do it often, find out what caused the damage this time
and stop doing that. Woofer damage is most often cause by voice coils
overheating... the resistance goes up, the level goes down, and the operator
just keeps cranking the low end up until the coil melts.
