Speaker Mods?

Hello:anyone knows who makes quality mods for speakers such as changing tweeters and upgrading the crossover?
i currently own a pair of paradigm refernce v-40-2 and while i like the amount of bass it gives the high freq could be a little harsh at moderate levels,i need a speaker about this size and found it difficult to find a small speakers w/the paradigm bottom end at a reasonable price and therefore an upgrade path may be a viable alternative,thanks so much.AL
my system:
sim audio moon i-5
resolution audio transport and dacs.
synergistic res ic and dh labs q-10 speaker wire,i'm looking for a more delicate and refined performance without
sacrificing detail and neutrality.

There is a member here with a set of Avalon Acoustic Eclipse who put a Eidolon midrange in place of the tweeter. I spoke to him one evening and he seemed truely happy with the mod, I would have tried it if I didn't have to cut larger holes in the cabinets. I am not sure if something like that would work for you, but there is a chance. That being said I am going to have to agree with the statements made above, I would not recomend upgrading those speakers in particular, money could be spent in other places having a better effect. Check out www.zalytron.com I know they can do everything you want to get done, they tend to help a lot of DIY'ers but I am sure they can upgrade anything, all it takes is $$$. Good luck
