Does anyone do speaker mods?

This really might be a stupid question, but I have a pair of Dynaudio 140's and C1's. I LOVE my C1's but dont want to spend a ton to get another pair. I love the size of the 140's but want the Esotar 2 tweeter and maybe upgrade the crossover and woofer up to the next level... Contour etc. I also understand that for only a few hundred more I could get the S1.4 etc... but the style doesnt suit me. As I said... I know it sounds stupid... but I had to ask.

I've noticed modding speakers hurts their resale. For example people mod Klipsch speakers all the time but I notice when they sell them they seem to go for much less than comparable unmodded in equal condition. Something to think about.

Wireless,

I would respectfully disagree. Klipsch speakers with upgraded xovers almost always sell for more than a non-upgraded Klipsch speaker (everything else being equal).

Another thing to consider here (specifically with Klipsch speakers), it that they sound WAY better after having the xover upgraded. So a person seriously considering selling their non-upgraded Klipsch speakers would most likely reconsider selling their upgraded Klipsch speakers.

I'm saying this from first hand experience with my multiple pairs of Klipsch speakers. They are the ONLY original audio purchase that I still use today. Point is, that I don't have to worry about resale. But if I did, I bet they would sell for more than a pair without upgraded xovers.
