Vandersteen 3A sig , on the naked

HI, I'm considering buying a pair of vande's 3A sig,
like the sound very much, but the looks is terrible,
just got this crazy idea, of getting a used pair,
and then strip off the socks, and cut off the frame, just leave the accustic box, where the drivers are mounted,
think it will make a very radical look on speakers,

what do you think, has anybody done this before:

...just as an aside.... MAYBE only Richard Vandersteen knows Vandersteen speakers better than John Rutan at Audio Connection. He is honest, fair, and someone with whom you can really count on for the truth. I have been a hifi nut for the better part of my life and he is the best source of knowledge and is the go to guy to buy the stuff. I moved to Arizona, and wish he were here for us audiophiles in the Southwest.

I just read the post from Ig316b with the link to the 1C modification. Wow! I have a pair of 1Cs in the closet. They'd be shaking in their boots if they could read my mind.

One fact you can count on is when a DIY guy goes through that much work and it sounds different, it will be a dramatic improvement, just ask him. As a dealer over the years we have seen and heard some of them along with a request for an estimate to put them back the way were.
