George,

The Proac 2 drivers was not made by Seas, it was made by ScanSpeak and a variant of the 18W8543 http://www.scan-speak.dk/datasheet/archive/18w-8543-00.pdf The Proac 1 Drivers was made by Seas and a variant of the P14RCY http://seas.no/images/stories/vintage/pdfdataheet/h0393_p14rcy.pdf

Good Listening

Yes it is unavailable - Proac should stock them IMO however they may not.  As you state if only the foam surround is shot its easily replaceable.  Bill Legall at Miller sound does an excellent job.

Yes the story about all the Danish Driver manufactures are complicated as they intertwine quite a bit.  Claus Futtrup - now working for Seas has made a nice historic paper on all these intertwines - he himself have worked for DynAudio and ScanSpeak.

Bill is still working, used his services last month to reform 4 each SanSpeak 21W8553 the 8 " version of this same driver series with the clear poly cone.  These are available :-)

Good listening
