I have a pair of AX2's (The smaller bookshelf, they came in 2 sizes as I recall) that I bought in a shop I was working at in 1990. They are wonderful little speakers that served me well for over a decade. Anyway, long story short, they ended up at my parent's place while I was living in the US and they gave them to brother, before that they were in mint condition. Anyway, I got them back recently and the bottoms are all scratched up from being placed on cheap stands (the particle board kind that screw together from the top). However, there is a cosmetic crack in the MDF at the front of one of the speakers (between the grille and the surrounding lip). The damaged piece is about 2-3 cm long and a 1 cm wide.

Would it be advisable to pry the little piece of MDF and covering vinyl laminate out and glue it back into place?

I have no idea what they sound like anymore or if my brother wrecked them by over driving them, I know I'll have to cleanse 3-5 years of Jimmy Buffet out of them. \:D
