Bose environmental speakers

Mornin' all.

I have a pair of Bose 151 environmental speakers in my back garden, and I
noticed this weekend that one of them appears as though it may have stopped
working... - got to do some more troubleshooting yet, but basic checks of
the wiring haven't shown any problems...

The speaker does appear to still be getting a signal, since if I put my ear
right up next to the grille I can just about faintly hear the sound... -
its
just as if the balance control had been set all the way to one channel
only.. - BTW, this isn't the problem, since these are pair B on an
amplifier, and listening to pair A which are in the kitchen gives a
perfectly normal sound....

I know I have a 5 year warranty on the weather-proofness (sic!) of these,
but I need to use them in a couple of weeks, so I don't want to faff around
for weeks going through a warranty / returns procedure and thereby risk the
possibility of not having it fixed & returned when I need them, so I'm
looking to just replace it with a new one (then I'll get the dead one fixed
and have a spare...)

Been Googling around to find a supplier, but not found much so far... -
seems the original 151 model has been replaced with the updated SE model,
but I don't want to buy a whole new pair for £200-odd, I just want to
replace my iffy one with an identical replacement...

So, can anyone point me to where I can either order online, or buy from a
shop (if in London), a single Bose 151 speaker, in white?... ISTR when I
bought these a couple of years ago that they cost about £80-ish per unit...

TIA

Paul G.
