Woofer in Wharfedale W80 A Variflex

[Audiochiro]

Hello

I am a new member and am looking for help. I purchased a pair of Wharfedale W80 A Variflex speakers last weekend. One of the woofers is bad. The coil seems loose and crackles with low frequencies and it has much less resistance than the good woofer. I want to replace it but cannot find any information about what woofer to use. I am assuming Wharfedale used the same woofer in other speaker boxes. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I attached 3 pictures of the woofer.

Thanks,

It might be possible to have the woofer rebuilt. That would be the best alternative as finding a replacement might be pretty difficult in addition to having problems of its own. Replacing the Warfedale woofers with another brand wouldn't be a good idea. The crossover is designed to use the Warfedale woofer and not an off the shelf driver.

Gotta repair existing, or replace with a Wharfedale W80 woofer. AK member @klipschorn or @GordonW may be able to lend a helping hand.
