Replacement/Repair of LF-5 with TPX Cone from HARBETH ACOUSTICS (Swisstone, Harwood)

A diy monitor box from a friend with Scan-Speak dome tweeter D2905 without ferrofluid and the above mentioned Bass midrange driver need service.
The LF-5 is faulty on both channels - both overloaded voice coil and and adhesive connection between rubber surround (suspension) and TPX cone/diaphragm damaged.

Which replacement comes closest to this chassis regarding sonic character (which was excellent in genuine resp. working condition) ?
Maybe the PHL 900? - go to post # 28 under
Error 404 - Page Missing
or KEF B110 SP1003
KEF B110 REPLACEMENT SP1003. FALCON B110 8 ohm. MATCHED PAIR. MADE IN UK.

A second question: Which company has specialized in the repair of these chassis with TPX membrane (also the LF-8)?
Thank you for your advices.
