Duntech Soverigns - help needed

Acquired them recently w/o grills so now I am planning to build a pair by myself.

Can some owner tell me the actual measurements and if possible, send me pictures of the grill?

Furthermore, what is your best suggestion for mods on them? I assume changing the driver screws with brass ones, solder the leads directly onto drivers, better coupling of the base (what has worked best for you), maybe upgrading/replacing parts of the cross over?

Jazzonthehudson, I know a guy in Tennessee with Sovereigns. Somehow I lack his telephone number, but I know how to reach him. But go to Google. There are reviews and pictures. It is interesting that I see a pair for sale for $7600 which is more than the retail price of $7600 when I bought one of the first pair in the US.

I had the Sovereigns and remember that the grill merely was held in place by fitting around the black surface of the area with the drivers. I think it fits under the portion of the driver placement and on top the base. There is lots of information on them on Google.

Doug99, ironically it is not the same guy. My guy cannot afford another pair of speakers and has never been involved in recording. He is retired from the Army.

Jazzonthehudson, having had many Aurios, Townshend speaker slings, etc., I will strongly suggest that you try the StillPoints Ultra SSs or Ultra Fives. The SSs are cheaper but nowhere near as outstanding.

If you have the original shallow concave Aurios, they are significantly better than anything that followed them.

I would again suggest that you Google the Sovereigns and read the crossover update.
