   Commercial speaker systems don't typically use off-the-shelf commodity   
   speaker drivers. They tend to use custom (or semi-custom) OEM parts.   
   So I would be surprised if you could find the driver available from a 3rd   
   party source.

   Replacing it with anything but the original driver will most likely make   
   significant changes to how the speakers sound, And will crater their   
   resale value as well.   
      
   So have you contacted M-Audio about buying OEM replacements?
