where to get replacement focal midranges
after 7 years my 4 inch poly kevlar mids from my component system are shot.
I've reached out to orca designs, they don't sell to the public, yet claim any dealer should be able to order just midranges not an entire set.
I've tried a local dealer they claim that you can't buy just midranges have to buy a whole component set (600+)
I tried crutchfield and they refered me to orca designs.
I tried Zalytron and could barely understand the guy on the phone, who told me focal doesn't produce poly kevlars anymore, and that they never made a 4 inch midrange. (I've dealt with them in the past and never had an experience like this time, beyond rude)
Any other thoughts on options as compared to paying for an entirely new set?

The ES series is one of CDT's top lines, you can get a refurbished set of ES-04 for $120 shipped 
I'm using them in my doors for 400-3000 Hz at ~80wRMS and I think they sound great.
If you don't want to stray from Focal, try some audio specific forums or ebay.

CDT speakers would sound weird with focal tweeters. CDT tends to be dark/murky while the Kevlars are brighter, and more clear.
Don't we have a focal dealer on the forum? Dennis maybe? It's been a while since I was in this forum.

I thought we had a dealer here....I have the old setup (non active) of a 100kp component set and a 165 kbe midbass add on.......runs through two crossover networks to spread the sound passively. Just think I was pushing it a lil too hard with the 300x2 JL......my exhaust is kinda excessively loud...
been bouncing thru forums an ebay of course but nothing.
