Default Mark Levinson - Speaker replacement?

I have had an occasional bass distortion from what I think is my Mark Levinson door speakers. I already replaced one of the speakers with a used speaker on eBay, but the distortion is still there (coming from the other door, I think.) Does anyone have experience in aftermarket door speaker replacement alternatives?
I have a 2008 LS 460 - and getting another potential 17 year old speaker is making little sense.

Try Crutchfield. Depending upon year, they offer some equivalent speakers. The site asks for model and year, then shows you matches.

Ok - Local car audio place recommended Kickers. For the price of one Mark Levinson replacement speaker, I can get two Kickers and a warranty!

And they'll likely sound like crap. The OEM ML (Pioneer) speakers are designed and equalized for the car. An aftermarket speaker is not.

a new speaker would not be 17 years old
however it would be made in Mexico
for my 2005 a new door speaker is about $150
fresh stock at BELL LEXUS
