Carver Silver Edition Speakers,Any upgrades

I owen a pr. of the beatiful speakers (black) and wonder if there are any way to improve the sound with upgrades or mods. Would changing the drive or crossover improve the sound , if so what drives would I need or what ribbon tweater or what crossover. Can one of the woofers be change to a mid range drive? I do not have the boxes for shipping so I would have to do the work. There is no problem with them , I am just looking to improve the sound, if it can be done.Has anyone try and thing?

Thanks

Upgrading the caps and resistors would be a good idea if you want to stay with the original crossover, However, some folks like to use an external crossover. Whatever your choice, upgrading the chassis wire and binding posts are a must do. There was an upgraded 48" ribbon available at one time, but I'm not sure if it still is. The woofers, leave them alone. I don't know what you're using for power, but they do benefit from tons of good clean power.

These babies require ALOT of power for them to sound their best. I recommend at LEAST 400 watts a side. I used to own a pair and 250 a side was not enough. i used to love to crank Dirty Diana by MJ. These babies go deep into the sub area 18hz. and would shake the windows in the house like an amplifier.
