Replacing dead woofer on ProAc Tablette Sig 50 (NYC area)?
I have a pair of ProAc Tablette Signature 50s; one of the woofers is dead. I brought it to a local guy in NYC, who seems knowledgeable but is apparently not some famous high-end guru; he says that the woofer needs to be replaced, but he doesn't have access to one that will fit.
I've messaged ProAc, who haven't replied in a few days, and I'm just trying to get a sense of what my options are. I've always liked these speakers, and I would like them to work, but if it's going to be a years-long effort of finding the right person somewhere in the world to fix these, I'll just have to toss them and find another pair of something.
Is finding a replacement woofer easier than this guy thinks? Or is there somewhere I should be taking them to in the NYC area who'd be able to fix this? Obviously, I am myself extremely unsavvy, technically, but I'd hope that these are both repairable and worth repairing.

one idea not mentioned is Millersound who repairs drivers, in PA http://www.millersound.net/contact-bill-legall-millersound.html ProAc not listed, but SEAS is. your driver is unique face frame and rear basket (you have) unique bullet (you have) cone (is your cone good? voice coil (perhaps blown). IF it is the voice coil, perhaps SEAS used same size voice coil in other drivers, i.e. Millersound might have the voice coil. btw: to prove it is not the crossover: have you tried temporarily moving the good driver to the bad woofer's location?
