B&W 801 Matrix 2 Woofer replacement

One of the woofers in my 801 Matrix 2 is misaligned and dragging at the bottom of the cone. I'm hoping the repair shop can realign it properly. Failing that, I'm going to look into reconing both woofers. Has anyone ever reconed the woofer? What's the source?
Thanks!
Cheers!

Have you tried doing anything yourself? The screws work themselves loose all the time on those speakers.

Well. I pulled the woofer out and checked it. It was dragging just ever so slightly. At the time, I did not realize it was dragging around the spider. I took it to a reputable speaker repair shop. He looked at it and immediately identified the problem. He has it right now. If he's able to fix the first one, I'll bring the second for replacement as well.
Good call Ct0517!
If that doesn't work, I'll contact Simply Speakers. Thanks Tonykay!
