Where to find a replacement driver for Acoustic Research? (1 Viewer)

[MatthewJames]

I have an Acoustic Research Phantom 252c center speaker. One of the drivers is bad and I cannot find a replacement for it. It uses Illusion drivers and they no longer do business in the US and since AR changed hands I cannot get an answer from them. Can anyone recommend a replacement for the "blown" driver?
Thanks

If the center uses two drivers (in a typical MTM layout) I would replace both drivers. That way you're at least assured of having them match acoustically and presenting your amp with the same impedance load. Just a suggestion, especially if the drivers are only running $10-15 apiece.....

You could always try to find another one on eBay.

Madisound is the first place I'd check, and also www.partsexpress.com

I've tried everywhere and talked to many people, including the places listed. They all told me that because of the Illusion drivers size (shallow depth), they could not find a replacement.

Any other ideas?
