80's Rauna Ymer Tower Speakers Advise on Swapping Low Wattage Speakers with Some Kicks!

I picked up 2 of these speakers 2 years ago and they are in pretty good shape. The original Rauna are setup for a hi wattage amp. It actually sounds good on my 70's Sony 150 watt per channel amp. But I been wanting to set it up to match my low power tube amp 65 watts per channel Yaqin MC-100B. Total is 4-KT-88 on both channel. I prefer the linear mode. But occasionally I switch to the soft mode. I listen to a lot of old pops. Well just call it like this Phil Collins Seriously Live in Berlin.
. Any speaker recommendation is great. Thanks... Joe

These new speaker driver that I install in the old Rauna is the best setup I had! It sounds like glass with thundering bass. I’m very happy and its worth the wait throughout the journey. My Yaqin is very happy too! Thanks.

What did you end up doing? Did you change the crossover or elements, or both?

Oops sorry for the late response. I changed the whole package. The whole speaker driver and cross overs. I end-up getting a Paper woofer and the ribbon tweeters. The speaker body itself produces a midrangey tone and I set the speakers like 11 inch away from the wall. Its stunning the way how the speaker process its sound and its really bassey’ due to the back porting which is what I prefer on speakers. 62 tube watts per channel is not really a lot of power respectively these yaqins are probably 40 watts in the ultralinear mode so its perfect for the size of my music room. I actually just finished recapping my amp with all pio choke caps and larger quality solens. The sound is slightly smoother after this work. The only thing I haven’t done is the remote volume.

I wanna put a picture here of the speaker and the modified amp but I don't know how..
