I have four OHM C2 speakers that are over 15 years old. 
The foam material surrounding the woofer cone is disintegrating and falling 
out in large pieces. I contacted OHM about replacements and was told 
"the company that made those woofers went out of business and 
we could not find any speakers that came close so we discontinued them". 
I was told that (for a limited time only) I could trade in the old ones
for $500 off the small Walsh driver "Sound Cylinder" speaker system.

Sounds like BS to me. I would imagine that speaker technology has come
a long way in 15 years and there must be something that will work.

These speakers sound great and I don't want (can't afford) to lose 
them. The bass response at low volumes is the nicest part of the sound
so the replacement woofer is critical. High efficency is a must.

I am ignorant when it comes to sound systems so I don't want to
get just any woofer without seeking some advice. I realize this may be
like asking what is a good engine for my car but here goes....

What is a good 10" woofer that I could use. The specs on the speakers
are .....

	woofer - 10" unit
	2 lb. ferrite magnet
	1 1/2" voice coil

	crossovers 1700 Hz
		   5000 Hz

 	impedance (IEEE) 40 to 8/6 ohms

	freq. response 37 to 20,000 Hz. +- 4dB
		-3 dB at 18,000 Hz.

	efficiency 0.70%
	min. 10 watts (rms)
	max. 100 watts (rms)

I am into computers not speaker systems and this means nothing
to me. Any advice is welcome .......
