I have a set of Snell Acoustics E2 speakers which I am very fond of.
The foam at the rim of the woofer cone is literally disintegrating.
The woofers are a Vifa M21WN07 (4 ohm).
Needless to say, these are obsolete, and I can't find any technical
information at all about them. Does anyone know what the technical
specs for this driver were? Or better yet, can anyone suggest a
compatible modern replacement?
Thanks

You should get in contact with Snell. Refer to the paperwork that came with
the speakers for details, or ask the dealer where you bought them, or do a
net search for Snell.

Vifa M21 series woofers still seem to be around.

Here are some at least partial parameters:

Geez, I don't know why I didn't call Snell first. I just thought that
since I couldn't source the originals, and the speakers themselves
were so old (my little brother gave them to me recently after buying a
new set of Magnaplanars) that Snell wouldn't support them. They do,
and offer modern replacements along with electronics modifications
necessary.
Thanks all for taking the time to reply.
