Is it taboo to mod a speaker?

I often read and hear about modifications done to source equipment, amplifiers, DACS, and ocassionally I read about someone doing stuff to the crossover portion of a loudspeaker. I myself plan to have someone modify my Pioneer DVD in a few months. However, I rarely read about anyone modding a loudspeaker by exchanging drivers. I have never heard of anyone exchange or upgrading to driver ABC from drive XYZ. Is it done? Does anyone do this professionally?

Best done by the original designer of the speaker!Changeing XO's or using up to date parts is a plus.Little tweeks like changeing Binding Post and Internal Wiring can be DIY.

Yes,If you change Driver's you have toi redo the XO's then have the Speaker's tuned again.I have to get mine done after adding a Mid\Bass Driver,but the sound is better than having the stock driver's so I am happy with the results because they are very close to the Stock models as far as the freq.'s crossover points.
