Harman Kardon Sound Sticks, distorted sound

I am hearing a distorted sound coming from my Harman Kardon Sound Sticks. Appears as if the top speaker on the left side is shot. Can I purchase the individual speaker and replace it?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

I have set of Harman Kardon sound stick 2's, which also have distorted sound on the satellites.

I pulled the drivers out of the housing and found that on both speakers and every driver inside each, foam that acts as a sort of suspension for the drivers, had almost completely deteriorated.

This made the drivers touch the sides of the housing distorting sound*, it seems to be a pretty common issue*, so there is a high chance that it's your culprit.

As far as, a solution to this predicament, I haven't gotten that far yet, but there's really only two options, completely replace the drivers with better condition stock ones or you can go down the route I'm currently going, which is to find replacement foam things*.

*Here's a few links that helped me with the process:
