Welcome back! Can't offer any repair ideas but maybe reaching out to Axiom they might offer some suggestions on repairs. Heck, they might be able to send you a cabinet with same finish and you just swap out the guts, or make you a deal on just swapping that one out from B Stock.

I second that. Ask Axiom if they have any suggestions before you start.
The bottom of the one isn't too bad but the top of the other is rather ugly. If they still sound ok and nothing inside has come loose, no severe bends in any driver components, then you can try your patch method, or something that Axiom could recommend, but at least they will sound fine. Aesthetics only matter if you care that much. Try some harsh sound testing to ensure you don't have any unusual noises from the fall.
Trading for other models is extreme. Many people don't just have cash to toss around on luxury items these days.
