Prodigy front woofers repair

[18000rpm]

There are a few threads on this site about Prodigy front woofers failing, and most owners replaced the woofers. Here are the original front woofers:

These are no longer available and ML recommends these as replacements, which have the same dimensions although slightly different specs Scanspeak Classic 25W/8565-00, 10" Woofer

Both of my front woofers recently failed and I took them to a speaker repair shop and they replaced the voice coil, similar to this video

Cost me about $60 each and seem work as good as before.

I too, had both of my woofers repaired and they also work great. Seems to me that if you replaced the woofers with an off the shelf driver, it wouldn't be the same.

I have two excellent ones that are available.
One very good stat panel, too.

Does ML specify Thiele-Small parameters for a replacement?
