One of my Focal Alpha65's distorts at higher volume

I've been using these Focal Alpha65's since 2014, I bought them from Gear4Music brand new and they've been great. Lately one of the monitors has started to distort when loud bass is played through them. The Focal website says to contact my distributor.

I contacted G4M and they can't do anything for me since the purchase was so long ago. They told me to contact a dealer who deals with repairs. I've not done that yet since it's Friday night.

Do you reckon the driver is totally boned and I need to replace it? Would it be more cost effective to just buy a new speaker? A single one is £234 roundabouts.

Bye!

    Totally different price point but my track record repairing KRK rokits was not great, blown tweeter in one speaker, repaired it twice with new tweeters and each time only lasted a few months.

    Ended up grabbing a 2nd hand one for only lsightly more than the cost of 2 replacement tweeters (which were at least *cheep*).
