90% loss of one speaker volume.

I accidentally hit my Ohm 5 mk2 speakers with a 1 second high volume burst. One speaker has an 90% volume loss. I confirmed not my amp or cables by hooking up to second speaker that outputs fine. Fix or repair possible ? Cost?

If you can DIY you could switch the crossover from the good speaker to test or just wire it to the down speaker with long wires to save removing it.
