Green Mountain Audio

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.

My buddy Dale was friends with Roy, who did pass on. Dale knows a TON about Green Mountain Audio products and I sent him the link to this thread. Before you do anything wait to see if he has any advice.

Here is a reply from my friend who owns a couple pair of Green Mountain speakers and knew Roy well. He is very technical, basically an engineer:

 

I've found over the years that people don't want advice in audio forums.

I'm staying clear of them all.

People used to argue with Roy, who was a Physicist, about speaker design.

None of them ever won the argument, but some kept trying.

Tell them anything and you're an audio snob.

 

Between you and me, I doubt any "updated" drivers would work, as Roy used 1st order crossovers in all his designs, meaning the woofer had to play higher and the tweeter lower.

Those drivers are not easy to find.
