Screwed. You lost the entire voice coil suspension...
(Don't shoot the messenger...)
There used to be speaker re-coning speciality places,
or maybe the manufacturer would take pitty on you...

Broken midrange - Am I screwed?
I was setting up my speakers today and one of my Klipsch RF-15 front
channels tipped over on the carpet. When I sent to upright it there
was a knocking noise inside. When I opened it I found this:

The plastic mount holding the driver broke all the way around and the
thin, gauze-like orange gasket tore.
Am I screwed or is it fixable? I can definitely repair the plastic
(although I'm not sure how strong it will be again). I'm more
concerned about the driver itself. Doesn't look like it has any damage
so maybe there is hope. And it looks like the stiff orange circle was
just slotted into the driver and nothing broke there.
