Hi Guys... Had a nice talk with Dave Miller today pertaining to the 555's. What the conversation boiled down to is this...certain modern drivers that use 4" VC's may work as a replacement. Provided all physical measurements prove out. Having opened up one 555 already (burned coil)all the measurements could be taken and compared to what's out there. The question is will the repaired driver have the same qualities of sound that an original 555 have?...or will it be totally different? It's a shame that the coil itself cannot be replaced....this diaphragm looks perfect otherwise.Your thoughts? ...Jim
