B&W CDM2 - looking for replacement woofer alternative


I have a pair of B&W CDM-2 booksehlf speaker. One woofer might be beyond repair. ZZ09929 seem to be the part number but can't find (and might be cost prohibitive even if B&W would ever get them back in). 

I have zero details of the woofer. If someone has info, please post. 

Aside from keeping my eyes open for a cheap sinlge speaker or a totally busted (to part out) one: Is there a 'similar' woofer that I can swap in, at least at a temp fix?

Madisound speakers in Madison Wisconsin may be able to help find a replacement. Perhaps send them an email with your inquiry?

call Bill Legal at Miller Sound in PA.  He can give you the advice you need and possibly repair the driver(s).  He is the expert on drivers period.

Just to close out the thread in this forum:

With nothing to loose, I first put 3 C clamps on (back of magnet/bottom of frame) and pushed the magnet back in (no gap). Took quite some force. Tested, still scratching (misaligned voice coil).

Then measured the distance front of frame to back of magnet (crooked/bent frame). Placed speaker on flat solid surface with frame down, and smacked the back of the magnet with mallet on piece of wood. With face of frame parellel to magnet now, tested again. Better, but still very noticeably scratching (I use low frequency test tone).

Pushing the cone in at spots going around, I found the spot where push the cone results in no scratching. Marked that point, and did one more smack with mallet/wood. Test, no quite a bit less scratching.

Repeated above stop: cone moves freely. Test: no scratching. Music test: working fine.

With a 'spare' (DM601 woofer ZZ10049; the original is ZZ9929 but not available for found) woofer on its way, i may put that in (if it fits without modifications) and see how that sounds (compared to original).

Also: put new sealant/foam on the mounting surface/flange (why are manufacturers using such super thin 'seal' on?).

Now onto tweeter fix of LCR60 S3 center channel.....
