I have vintage Polk Monitor 5 speakers. Sadly one woofer has failed. Can anyone recommend a suitable replacement driver to drive the passive radiator properly? I am open to other brands of 6.5" woofers. Looking at the Thiele parameters, I think a Vas = 74L (3 ft3) and XMax = 3.1mm is what I need. However, I have not been able to see anything matching those specs.

    Check eBay as that is likely your only chance to find one.

    If the problem with yours is a shifted magnet, that can be repaired.
