Tired of looking at non-working 595 cabinets. All eight speakers are blown, diaphragms are torn. Parts Express wants $55 each to re-cone them. I can buy new Eminence for $45. Thought about maybe trying to repair them myself. Question is, are these speakers even worth repairing or will the Eminence speakers be better replacements? If worth fixing, what kit do you recommend using?

I did find some Dayton speakers in Parts that are rated at 250 RMS, 70-9000 Hz, and only $40. Spec wise, these appear to be better than the Eminence ones. Any idea of the ratings on these CTS speakers. Pretty sure they are no where even close to this, but was wanting a comparison. Thanks as always.
