Blown BW speaker… repair for $325 or buy other used speakers?

I have a blown woofer in my BW DM630 speakers. Cost to replace the blown part is $325.

I’m seeing some really nice used speakers on FB marketplace in the $500 range…

How do you decide whether to repair your equipment or just buy something else that’s much newer?

For me, I’m not in love with these speakers. I recently heard Klipsch Fortes and was in love. Am I better off just saving up or selling a bunch of other equipment to get something I’m more excited about?

It’s rarely worth replacing with new parts on old speakers. See if you can find a 2nd hand driver on eBay and replace it yourself.
