Watt/Puppy 5.1 Upgrades?

I just purchased a pair of Wilson Watt/Puppy 5.1's on the secondary market. The only problem is that when I got onto the Wilson Audio website, there is no up-grades offered for the 5.1's. I was curious if anyone has tried to "upgrade" the actual drivers on the speakers, whether it was the mid-range drivers or the woofer drivers? Does anyone recommend doing this? Any ideas of how I could up-grade without going up to the next level of Watt/Puppy speakers (which I could not afford) would be appreciated. All ideas are welcomed! Thanks! Larry

Lpan2000,

See the review of the Watt/Puppy 6 by Marc Mickelson in
the Dec 2000 Home Audio Equipment Review:

http://www.soundstage.com/revequip/wilson_watt_puppy6.htm

The cabinets of the Series 6 are somewhat larger than that
of the 5.1 and lower series. Since cabinet volume is an
integral part of driver / system design - you can't really
upgrade to the Series 6 drivers without upgrading the
cabinet too - in essence replacing the whole speaker.

So the Series 5.1 is a dead-end; there is no upgrade path
to the Series 6.
