   You don't need new speakers, lot's of places will repair yours for a lot   
   less than new ones, and you don't know the frequency response of the old   
   ones so you won't know what new ones to buy.  It makes a huge   
   difference, always stick to the original speakers when possible.  Even   
   if the cones are all torn apart they still rebuild them.   
      
   I just replaced the foam surrounds on a set, my first attempt myself,   
   and they turned out great.  Lots of DIY foam kits on ebay.
