Where can I find a replacement driver for a LS70?

I live in the DC area and one of my drivers has a low level buzzing sound after about 30 minutes.

Any help appreciated. Especially if it does not involve buying new speakers.

    Thought of getting one from Polk in Baltimore?

    I had a bad driver in one of my LS50's. I got a new one from Polk for like $52. If you tell them you're a forum member you get 20% off (I think) and free 2 day shipping.

    Just looked yours up. It's a bit more spendy than mine. List price $85, Club price $68

    I used to have the 70's also, in rosewood. They looked great. The had a problem with sunlight and Polk upgraded me to 90's for free. But only in black. No problem!:cool:

    Polk shines even when an old product finally fails. $68 (with discount) and it arrived two days later. Problem solved. So nice to find a manufacturer whose support matches the product's awesome sound. Thanks Polk

    Good on ya DP.

    Anyone know enough/have info on the LS series breakdown?

    Models, driver compliment, specs etc. I'm sorta familar with the line, but a solid breakdown would be a great reference.

    Cheers,

    I've got my owners manual which covers all 3 models. Do you have a fax? I can send it over to you.

    I just spoke to Polk and they have them in stock (133 of them) and they are like $75 if you are a member of this club.

    Thanks everybody! One of the drivers on my LS70's just let go. I'll see if I can pick one up ASAP. I just went vacuum tube and I hate to see my system down for too long.
