So far as I know, if you bought something, it is your property. Someone
else can't then decide to 'keep it' without your agreement. Doing so may
be theft.

However, if the driver was supplied at a part-exchange price, then as
part of buying the replacement driver, the broken driver is exchanged.


If the owner agrees, fair enough.

'Exchange' re-conditioned parts were once very common. If the old part
wasn't suitable for re-conditioning a surcharge was made.

It could be the makers of these speakers are very short of units suitable
for re-conditioning, so only offer this service where yours is.

Sounds like the retailer made a mistake.
