Would I gain anything?

I have a stock pair of JBL L-200 speakers. The cabinets are in excellent condition as are the drivers. One of the cheesy spring loaded input connectors is missing.

Would it improve the performance significantly to remove the crossover and rewire the system using good quality speaker wire and new binding posts and then bi-amping with an external active crossover?

From what I understand these JBL drivers are still among the best and the cabinets, while dated in appearance are well constructed and pretty dead.

I tried to explore the Heritage website and found it was too dense for me to navigate. I was unable to find my topic and didn't understand the layout at all. I also find Audio Asylum to be more trouble than it is worth.
Am I missing something about these sites? I can get around a lot of others without any difficulty.

Dan_ed,

Thanks for the links. I didn't see my answer yet but I'll keep looking.

Thanks, everybody. Since these speakers are "extra", I guess I'll forgo the temptation to mess with them. Currently they are providing voice for a Yamaha P-120 electric piano. My fantasy concerned elevating their performance to a level where they might adequately supplant the speakers in my main system.It sounds like too much trouble.
