Sonos Play:1 losing bass frequently

I picked up a Play:1 at Goodwill for the low price of $20 (kind of a steal noting how much they go for online), but if the speaker is above 45% volume on most songs, it loses bass and goes completely flat. I'm guessing that the speaker is worn out from age, so what's some recommended speakers to take it's place, or repair options?

Not age but maybe damage to the driver.

You can cause the issue, then submit a diagnostic and call Sonos to have them check the speaker internals.

What genre of music do you listen to? Does this happen with all genres?

Bass heavy music can cause cause the little speaker to not produce enough lows at higher volumes, especially if you already have the bass boosted in the EQ settings.

It happens with all genres and I also forgot to mention that if there's a lot of top end in the song, it sounds crunchy. The EQ is set to default on bass and treble, with loudness enabled.
