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.

I agree with several of the post regarding changing drivers and tweeters. That is usually a bad idea if you do not know what you are doing.

However, a great upgrade is to re-wire the internal wiring with the same or better quality wire you are using as speaker wire. While doing this you can also remove any brass or metal hardware used to connect the standard wire and make nice solder connections with Silver Solder (WBT or AQ Brand) This simple mod can take you to the next step in sound without spending much money at all. For example, I re-wired my Sonus Fabers with XLO Reference Type 5 as that is what I use for my speaker wire.
