Past or current Green Mountain C-3 owners


I own a pair of Green Mountain C-3 with the HX upgrade. I am currently driving them with a Coda N0.8 amp and a Lumin A1 directly using the Leedh volume control. I also have a pair of Seaton Submersive subs that I bring in under the C-3s that are running full range. I am quite happy with this system, but given the passing of Roy Johnson and the replacement tweeter becoming unobtanium I want to be thinking about where I might have to go next in the future. The C-3s just totally disappear in the room and I attribute a lot of that to Roy's design objectives of maximizing phase and time coherence as well as minimal diffraction enclosures for the tweeter and mids. I have other speakers I can rotate into this system in a pair of Martin Logan Summits and a pair of modded Klipsch Chorus IIs (fun speaker). Neither of these could replace the C-3s.

   My question to past or current C-3 owners is what speaker have you moved to that gave you equal or better performance to what you got with the C-3s? Thanks for your insights

Batman. Thanks for the input. I did do the HX crossover upgrade myself. Roy sent me the new crossover with very detailed instructions to install with a new Marigo wring harness.  Seemed to make a significant  improvement, so what speakers. I did the plumbers putty thing on the woofer as well.  So what speakers did you move to?

Thanks Mrotino for the insights on Spatial Audio. Open Baffle have been on my mind as options like Spatial or GR Research DIY..  

@Batman1 I agree there is no perfect speaker. That is why most of us have a few different speakers to rotate thru. I have the modified Klipsch Chorus II..very fun speaker and Martin Logan Summits.
