General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: Recommend a good 10" 4 ohm midrange driver for under $150 for ESS AMT1

You didn't say why you want to replace the drivers.

If the foam surrounds are bad, I hope that you have considered replacing them. It's a cheap, easy way to get them sounding like new.

If you are trying to improve the midrange response, you are in for a bigger challenge. The Heil tweeter crossover frequency is 1200 to 1500Hz. You would need to find a 10" driver with a smooth response well past that range, and also compatible with the cabinet tuning.

With the design improvements to drivers over the last 30 years you should be able to find a better one. But the last time I tried putting different woofers in my ESS speakers I ended up going back to the refoamed originals. Good luck, and please report back on your progress.
