If it's an OEM from another company, you might be able to get a recone kit, and DIY.

Apart from that, some shops selling PA gear can repair drivers, but I don't know if they'll be able to repair this particular one.

Another option would be to contact B&W, see what they say.
 
Sometimes you can repair them. Check the tinsel leads going to the terminal strip. If thats OK, carefully remove the dust cover with an exacto knife. The knife blade should be gently inserted parallel with the cone. Do this on a hot day or in a hot room (helps to soften up the glue). Check the connections there where the tinsel leads are soldered to the voice coil. You'll have to scrape some of the glue away to check continuity. If resoldering fixes it, reglue the dust cover to the cone.
While you have the dust cover open, check for a burnt varnish smell. If yes, then the coil is fried. Good luck
 
Chris, thank you a lot !

LAJ - I know that the coil is fried, I checked it with a multimeter and resistance is 0 ohms.

I know that contacting B&W is the best solution, but it turns out they dont even pay attention to emails.😕
