I know I'm replying to a VERY old thread, but I'm going to dump some info into it in case someone's Google search takes them here.
The Koss CM/1030 and CM/1020 share the same woofers. Unfortunately the CM/1010 is an orphan in the line, so can't share from its big brothers. And in any case there are no new replacements available for any of them.
Rather than being replaced, a failed /damaged CM/1010 woofer should be reconed by a pro shop. In addition, the CM/1010's passive radiator is very prone to surround rot - which is an easy repair for a shop.
I would add one interesting thing about the CM/1010's woofer that I discovered a few years back. I was having the woofers on a pair of original Bose 301s reconed, and while waiting for that to be done, I installed my spare pair of CM/1010 woofers into the Bose cabinets. Physically it was a perfect fit - including the screw holes. Sonically I detected no significant difference between having them installed, and the eventually-repaired original Bose woofers. So perhaps, just perhaps, a CM/1010 owner without woofers could be very happy with a scrounged pair of original Bose 301 woofers. Heck, I've not checked with Bose but maybe they still sell original, or equivalent, 8" woofer replacements.
