Hi, I've had mine upgraded and it's worth it. This is not a field upgrade. Vandersteen will not send out kits at this time. Call the factory for details.
The upgrade is more than worth the cost. I was amazed when I got them and they worked in. The sound is at least 40% better IMHO. As for the parts, what would you do with them?
The power supply is the only change in the sub amp. You'd have to build the rest of the amplifier to do that... Probably not worth it IMHO. Just buy a pair of V2Ws or a digital Velodyne.
