Snell type B:any upgrades?


Hi
I own these speakers for 12 years and consider them one of the best.I was wondering if there any upgrades i can do to them (drivers,wiring,crossovers)Even though Snell still supports this model,they can only offer stock parts identical to mine.I always wanted to put yellow kevlar midrange there.Any suggestions?

These ARE great speakers. I am not the original owner, but have owned them for about two years. I upgraded the binding posts, only because the crappy plastic ones they use had become stripped. When I had them changed out, I saw that the internal wiring is nothing special, but I didn't want to mess with it.
Anything that is done to them is going to change their character, and maybe disturb the inherent design. The only thing I would consider is the wiring and binding posts. Sometimes I think that something other than a metal dome tweeter might smooth out the highs a bit, but I'm using Walkier High Definition links, and they seem to help.
I spoke with Mark (I'm pretty sure that is his name) at Snell in tech support. He has these B Minors, and could have anything he wants. That says something.
