KEF B110 SP1057 mid-bass....there a replacement driver?

I have a pair of KEF 101 Reference speakers ( T27 tweets and B110
mid-bass)
BUT one of the B110s is dead/

Is there a driver considered to be an adequate replacement?
I have not run across one iof there woofers in the last 3 months I've
been looking on ebay, rec.audio.marketplace or Audiogon.
Advice, PLEASE>

Should I sell the pair?

Any excellent woofers/corossovers that mate well with the T27s???
In other words, keep the pair but replace the crossovers and woofers?

I like the sound tof the T27/B110 combo and would prefer to keep it
that way but am open to other combos using the t27.
Thanks,
Luis

Try contacting KEF themselves - they maintain parts for at least ten
years after last production, and if the problem is the coil that can
probably be easily repaired even without spares.

There was a Dalesford D110, I believe, which was compatible.

Considering there are still current LS3-5a manufacturers, I find it hard to
imagine you wouldn't be able to find a B110 anywhere....

Try googling KEF B110 and LS3-5a singly and together. You'll find lots.

Hardly likely to meet the strigent criteria as BBC LS3-5as then !
