Pair of Musical Technology Falcon speakers measure 6 ohm one side (as rated) but 9 ohm on other.
Lower woofer on the high impedance side moves when powered but with much less force and excursion than on the other side.
Each has 2 woofers in separate enclosures with tweeter between.
Crossover (4th order I think) has 10 caps and 3 inductors with no visible damage.
Anyone able to diagnose this?

I'd say the high measuring woofer has a fried voice coil, but I'd check the caps in the woofer filter anyway
Measure the drivers at the driver terminals (disconnected from the x-over) , not the speaker terminals
Thanks, found tinsel wire severed from coil just below spider. Tried conductive glue fix but still open circuit.
Were I to simply swap out both bass woofers from these 2.5 ways, beyond impedance matching, what else should I consider?

Above or below the spider ? - still visible you mean ? is there something to still solder to ?
Buy some tinsel wire and repair
TINSEL WIRE
How good's your soldering skills ? - You'll need some skills but it's do-able , or take it to a pro to try.
Or I see some secondhand MT Kestral speakers complete for £120 for the pair , what size are yours?
You could easily spend £50 per driver on decent new ones....
