Thanks for the technical advice. I guess my primary concerns for
this post were pertaining to cabinet volume and driver specs,
having built cabinets for speakers in the past. At this point,
the most probable solution is to replace the surrounds and get
a little more time out of these speakers.

Yes.

Was it you that recommended getting some Tannoys
in the other forum??

In some context I may have. Context matters and there is also a budget
context.

My default recommendation is to give KEF Cresta, preferably the
smallest, an audition. I haven't heard that specific model, but it has a
real treble unit instead of the de la mode item consisting of a cutout
from a cola can and a nice price range. I got myself a pair of KEF Coda
(first version, T27 and B200) and they have remained in the household
ever since, and do a very good job since supplemented with a pair of ATC
9" subs. I lament failing to get me a pair of KEF Q15.2's while they
made them, I heard the pair in a shop but it just was not in the budget.
This just to point out that the KEF coax stuff is most charming and
works well in a room. YMMV.
