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.

If you want to send my the good driver, I'll run full curves and specs and then help you find a proper replacement. I am in the St. Louis area. 

Seas did indeed use the same woofer. I have used them a few times. The Proac driver is an MP14 series, they customized that series with a phase plug for Proac. I have only seen the phase plug version made for Proac. Look at an MP14RC (H0688) or MP14RCY. These were both listed as Midbass drivers
