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?

Snell Type A reference would be a logical choice. Or you could go one step farther and go with a Revel Studio or Salon, both of which are also design's of Kevin Voecks and only improve on his older Type A design.
Lneilb: You do crossover upgrades? As a part time business or hobby?

Let me ask you, what parts are upgradeable on these crossovers? Here is a link to the ones on my Salons: http://69.13.128.69/image_library/salon_circuit_lo.jpg

Paste it, tell me what you think.

(warning its a 4mb file)SO what are we talking to have them sent out?If I can improve on this investment I would like to. Email me if needed.
Julian: Great post! Yes, I know that one of the biggest offending area's in "high end" speaker design is what you "cant see", the crossover boards and their components. Im actually tearing one of my Salon's down to the bare components to have crossover boards upgraded. As good as the Salon's are in my opinion, there is still a few small area's for improvement. The drivers(especially the midrange) and cabinet are top notch, but from the conversation the crossovers still have some room for improvement.
