Rebuilding old Sansui's


I have an old set Sansui speakers from the late 60's or early 70's; the one's with the carved wood grilles, 14" woofers, 5" midranges, piezo tweeters and horn midrange. They have a really substantial cabinet and I was thinking of rebuilding them as a bedroom set.My thought was to keep the horn midrange and tweeters, and replace the crossover, woofer, and cone midranges. Any thoughts on this and if you think it's a good idea, where would I get high quality cone speakers and a crossover?

I am not expecting anything like what I have for my main system(Martin Logan SL3'S)but I built a pair of speakers years ago that sounded beautiful. I used Radio Shack speakers and crossovers and hand built a large cabinet patterned after Spica t-50's. I would like to find better quality cones that would either fit the original mounting holes or slightly larger and possibly find a better crossover or an adjustable one. I then would like to throw these in the bedroom with maybe a Jolida integrated or other small amp with remote.
