Klipsch Heresy Speakers Circa 1976 ...Type HDBR
No! If they sound good to you leave them alone! I have a pair just like yours (raw birch) - and they sound just fine! I bought mine for use with my SET 45 and 2A3 amps. With 100db sensitivity the Heresy is a good match for low power amps.

Infinity 2000A's with RTR electrostatic tweeters! I have a pair bought from the original owner - a California college professor. Nice!

As long as there are RICH people to buy those Soulution amps, Tech Das TT's and Wilson Chronosonic speakers - HIGH END will NEVER die!!! 
Recommendation for a modern Duntech Sovereign 2001 replacement
How about the latest Carver Ribbon Array with its own dedicated sub's? Looks impressive! That would be my choice! 
Woofer-Assisted Wide Band
My Ohm Sound Cylinders function well from 30 hz to 8k hz with a single 8 inch driver but need help in the last octave by using a pair of dome tweeters. They do sound stunningly coherent with this arrangement and come the closest to the "full range...

Klipsch Heresy Speakers circa 1976...Cabinet wood question.
My vintage Heresy's are unfinished birch plywood. And I've had Altec Seville's that were also made of plywood. Same for my Rogers LS3/5A's.
