They were EMI midrange units with extra coating applied to the paper cone.

Not really, Would need a crossover re-design. In my view B110 does not really make a good midrange unit, needs a complicated crossover to get it sounding reasonable.
Peerless KO40MRF might make a better replacement.

I had a pair, I didn't like them particularly. The sound was a little unrefined. The ordinary IMF compact was better balanced, but not wonderful either.
