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.

Setting aside the aesthetics, are you digging the sound??!

No idea. I haven’t mounted the drivers due to the veneering project. All the dang angles on these things have me slicing my fingers up with razors as I trim the veneer.  Veneering box speakers is a breeze. Marble geometric, not so much 😉 Another few weeks and we will fire them up with both tubes and solid state to see which sounds best. Thanks for the inquiry.

Geez, it took me long enough to realize you really need to finish veneering before you install drivers! 🙄
