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?

If it isn't just a refoam, then your best bet is E-bay I think.

Not considering repair, just replacement with something that a) (most important) FITS (phycially) and b) maybe someone close (for example another B&W driver from another speaker).

Brother, have you considered a speaker kit? :)

If you don't find a drop-in replacement, then you end up with a lot of adjustments and then you end up having to do a lot of measurements and crossover changes, and by that time you might be better off building a nice 2-way speaker kit from scratch.

Personally, you are better off selling the pair you have as is.

PS - DIYaudio is a great place to ask for help like this, lots of speaker builders with expert advice who may have a driver, or may know what drops in well.

erik: part out would be the alternative (selling the tweeters, the one good woofer, crossovers and housings). DIY forum already posted, great hands on guys there (a lot less pixeldust to deal with also :-)
