Replacement for KEF 107's B250 woofer?

[montre16]

I recently acquired a disassembled pair of KEF 107's. I actually came across the cabinets in a landfill recycling centre, and was, through a pretty remarkable bit of luck, able to find the man who had discarded them, who happened to have all the parts sitting in his basement.

The heads and the cabinets are in great shape, and the crossovers are complete. Unfortunately, this is not true of the woofers. As seems to be a quintessential characteristic of KEFs of this vintage, they were in need of refoaming. This was trivial enough to accomplish, but, unfortunately, as I discovered /after/ installing new foam on them all, one of them was blown.

Information on the B250 woofer seems quite scarce online, as do the woofers themselves.

How should I proceed? Are there any readily available woofers sufficiently similar to the B250 that could be used as drop-in replacements?

Contact KEF (or get lucky), otherwise you'll need to substitute something else. I'd consider that an opportunity to biamp (and toss the high pass filter for the mid in the XO)

Not sure on this but you might want to contact Orange County Speakers. I believe they can recone them and repair the voice coils... let us know if they can do this for you as I have a pair of 107's that may need help.
