CBM-170 torn woofers

[sippyCUP]

Good afternoon! Last night I pulled a pair of original CBM-170s out of storage, and noted each woofer had a roughly 1cm tear, in different spots (see pix below).

Just wanted to get thoughts on ability to repair/replace the woofers, overall prognosis, etc.? Honestly I can't notice any distortion at this point, nothing obvious, driving with a Denon receiver.

I'm guessing a pretty easy repair to replace the woofers if you want, assuming Ascend is still using same ones.

Believe me, those are pretty tough...I've beat those mercilessly, and I've never seen this.
I've had them for 20 years, with good and bad amps. What are you driving them with?

Just call Ascend and you can get another one at a decent price.
I'd put fingernail polish on the slit and be done with it personally.
