I picked up a set of Diamante's for cheap. They have trashed foam surrounds but otherwise seem fine. I plan on veneering the "marble" with a beautiful teak or rosewood- I haven't decided.The angles will look pretty cool with the right veneer. The marble is not so cool but rigid and heavy. 

Curious if some upgraded drivers would improve the sound- as apposed to re-foaming. I realize this is a shot in the dark but my understanding is Roy from GMA has passed so not sure where to get driver advice. Open to any and all suggestions.

The chances of finding a suitable drop in replacement driver is extremely remote.  Drivers have so many different operating parameters that have to be considered in the initial design of a speaker, and the driver must be matched to other drivers through careful selection, modifications of the drivers, and design of the crossover, such that it would be almost impossible to find a perfect match even if you knew all of the operating characteristics of the original driver. 

Your best bet is to have the surround replaced.
