Surely the rest of the speaker is not pressurized like the area the amp and DAC are in. Likewise, the tweeter and midrange should be easily accessible. The case may need to be replaced in order to gain access, but surely these pieces should be able to be serviced.
No. Unfortunately the WHOLE unit is pressurised. The woofers use EVERY single inch of space within the case as a pressure chamber for the bass. The whole case and internals are completely sealed and pressurised, this includes all the component areas and mid range and tweeter. These can all function under high pressure and were designed stronger to withstand the forces of the woofers. The mid range uses the same pressure as the woofers as well as its own independency to reach higher levels without distortion.
Due to this the whole unit requires that specific tooling.
