I would just unplug the speaker. Bass is omnidirectional so I doubt you will hear any difference or loose bass. Plus, i'm sure there are subwoofer(s) in your system so you will not lose much if anything.
Trying to blend in a different type of speaker will make sound worse.

I would also contact Simply Speakers as they may have a surround repair kit.
Here is one of their products.

You may have to give them the surround OD.
Another source for drivers is Vifa/Typhany. Scanspeak and Vifa are also well known makers.

Would you be able to share the cost range of the services and how you went about finding someone to fix it. Thanks.

Received the speakers (used 4ohm one after measuring the stock) and it was the right size, but had to drill mounting holes a bit for better fitment.
Unfortunately, this speaker distorts and since stock B & O amp pumps 125w per channel, I assume I just need a better speaker.
After lots of researching the only speaker, which appear to fit, is Morel MW-144 4ohm version. It has 150w RMS, so hopefully it will be fine.
Believe it or not, the only other available 5 1/2 4 ohm woofer with over 100w power is https://www.madisoundspeakerstore.co...idrange-4-ohm/
apparently its a very rare size
P.S. The damage on the stock speaker is weird, I doubt it could have blowned up by itself like that

Thanks, This is exactly how the speakers disintegrated in my Acura (after 15 years), so I'm assuming with enough time this is how my B&O's will eventually go too.

I actually removed my aftermarket subwoofer now, after the two front speakers got fixed. With the surround setting turned off and sound set to Front, there is enough Bass for me now
