As Mongy suggested it might be the transformer.
Easy to check with a multimeter, if you pop down to a hardware shop you might find someone who will do it for you if you ask nicely.

*stupid question alert*
Where is the transformer?

If you have a cable from the mains to the speakers
there will more than likely be a box somewhere on the cable about twice the size of a pack of cards. That is the transformer. It switches the voltage from 240v to somethiong like 12v.
