AFAIR, the most non-invasive is to remove all screws. Get a bath towel and roll it up. (do all this in an open carpeted area if possible) . Lay the speaker on it's face , calculate a spot to put the rolled towel (to avoid drivers) and pick up that end 12-18-24 inches and let the speaker drop, with the towel as the cushioning/blocking force. ie: speaker stops, driver keeps going (out).*
I've done it many times , better than prying it out.
* only works for front mounted ;)
OR
If the foam is out (between cone and frame) , you can usually get a finger or 2 in that gap and try pulling.
Seawolf, your "drop technique" worked great! Thanks very much for the help. Now, where to get them refoamed... like I said in original post, wide difference in pricing here locally ($120/speaker vs. $300/speaker). What sounds like a more reasonable/mainstream price? Or, maybe better yet, can anyone recommend a mail-in service? I see a few online, but am looking for some trustworthy advice. All you chaps seem trustworthy enough... :D JK/LOL!
