Ohm I speaker upgrade??

I own a beautiful pair of OHM I speakers. Bought new back in 1979, I think it was. Anyway, I am considering replacing the drivers with the new upgrades available from OHM speaker. Has anyone done this to theirs? Or heard a pair that was upgraded? I own several pair of Klipsch speakers and are very happy with them. These speakers are 4 ohm and not as efficient as any of my Klipsch speakers. My latest idea is to replace the subwoofers and use them as my subwoofers in my home theater. I would split the signal from my receiver to an old DH-500 and then to the subwoofer in these speakers.
The speaker cabinets are in beautiful shape and don't want to just put them in the garage.

Any thoughts or suggestions sure be appreaciate.
Thanks to all the reply in advance.

I also upgraded my subwoofers to the SBA models. Ohm says the new subwoofers will go lower than the previous model. You probably will have to ship the orginal subwoofers to Ohm so they can rebuild them. I love these speakers and they still sound nice. The other speaker in my second system is the Proac 3.8 Response and the I's do a fine job for a lot cheaper price. My only complaint about the Ohm I's is that they sound bright. I did change the dome tweeter awhile back and they still sounded bright. Good luck.
