I did re-glue the cone to the speaker rim, Alan, but, in the end I decided to fit replacement speaker, having one of the correct diameter from a scrap DAC90 radio. Although this has a thicker rim than the Philips original, I was able, with some difficulty, to clamp it in place, and the sound quality is now good at all volume levels. AS usual, though, Philips had to be different. Not only is the original speaker a thin rimmed type, but it's rated at 5 ohms rather than the more usual 3. I cannot see that causing any problems in practice, though.
