You might need to call Martin Logan on that.
Yes think you right as i can not find any information on line. The first pair i owned had what looked like paper woofers but these look like polypropylene drivers
There is some discussion of Aerius woofers here:

Aerius (not i) woofer replacement
Hi, I am looking for woofer replacement concerning my father's ML Aerius (first generation, not i). I found on the web that "Visaton TIW 200 XS woofer" would be good. Is it the best for this? Best regards Maxence

New Woofers
To make a long story short. I was out and my son fried both of the woofers on my Aerius. I spoke to ML and they said that they no longer have the woofers for that speaker but they have the ones for the Aeon and they are superior, but will need a little retrofitting. I'm assuming the holes don't...

Aerius Bass Driver - What is it?
Hello all, Newbie from Uk here. I have been a little unimpressed with the bass on my Aerius (not i version) and stripped them down over the weekend to see if/where any upgrades can be made. The bass unit looks to be a budget unit with thin pressed steel basket and the cabinet has little bracing...

Remembering out loud here: Didn't the woofer change to an 8 inch 6 ohm paper cone cast basket Vifa (also used in Odyssey) with the jump to the Aerius 'i'? Earlier Aerius had a stamped steel basket Eminence woofer.
I am not sure mate but these speakers i have now do not seem to have the bass that the paper woofers had. But i am using a class d amplifier at moment where as i was using a valve amp before

Thats the same woofers in my aerius i’s. Cir 1998. Havent taken them out yet to see what they are but others here will prob know. I hope they’re vifas.
That is is great to know i was worried in case they were an after market driver that had been put in
Hey Steve, so I pulled a woofer tonight and we don't have the nice Scandinavian Vifas, just the lowly $40 eminence woofers. They do fine I'm sure.
Hi thanks for that mate strange is says 8 ohm i thought they would be 4 ohm. From what i can remember i think the other speakers i had with other bass drivers produced more bass but i was using a valve amp now i am using class d. But going to order another valve amp. I need to take to wooden trims off to spray them but a bit scared in case i break the speakers lol
They come off easy. Bump them at the top with a rubber hammer and they will slide down about an inch and lift off. Keyhole slots.
Will the electrostatic panels stay in place if i remove the trim
Yes they have velcro attachments, there are some stick on rubber strips that get sticky after years time but its more nuisance than anything else. The woofer grill has these too and is mostly stuck on.

Not sure if it's necessary, but I arranged some 2X4's and pillows on the floor to accomodtae the binding posts, etc., then I laid the speakers down (with the panel/woofer facing up). Then, when I removed the wood trim pieces, the panels, etc. didn't want to go anywhere...

Did you have problems getting the trip off
I laid the speaker on its side on the bed, bumped the trims off (maybe three seconds?) and rolled the speaker around on the bed like I needed. ...no, I'm no longer married, and it's why I have big ass speakers in my house now.
