I've already done surgery on this same tower speaker about a year ago when it was knocked down by an over-achieving cat which broke loose one of the wires in the tweeter signal chain so I already have a removable access panel cut on the back. The bolts to remove the end caps didn't exist until the 1a series iirc so I had to cut in through the back.
I guess when I opened this thread what I was hoping for was some recommendations on alternatives that might offer a similar sound profile, but I also appreciate the 'if it ain't broke...don't fix it' (well...except that is is broke...(-;) approach some of you are recommending. But I also understand that speakers are so personal that until you put your ears on them you never really know.
So specific to the bipedal design of the TW's with the angled front with mirrored tweeter/woofer to each side is there anything else that has a similar design - I'm not even sure if there is a specific terminology to describe that layout I can use in a search.
