One of the bass/mid drivers in my Mordaunt Short Pageant Series 2 (circa
1979!) started to sound croaky, and does not move freely. I assume that the
driver is non recoverable. I like the speakers, and don't want to change
them if I can avoid doing so.

I've fired off an email to their tech help but doubt that Mordaunt Short
would be able to supply a direct replacement driver (type DS 208, 8 inch
dia), so what might be a suitable third party driver?
