So, I am building my dream home and have a big library/office to build my dream cave. I'm 60, so Fidelity is not as important as it sounds great. I listen to metal and old rock (think Metallica, loud), and I love Monolith equipment. I want to send all seven speakers to someone and have them upgraded. My room is 51'by 38'. I have a 162" wall mini LED TV with a 5.2.4 speaker setup. I'll do a multi-zone AV source. My home is all fiber/unifi, so I'll have music on tap from my NAS. I'd love a contact if anyone knows a guy who will upgrade all my speakers. Tim

You may want to reach out to Danny owner of GR Research. He’s been known to upgrade some great speakers.

Danny's website says specifically that he does not upgrade speakers. I hope I am wrong about that. He only sells the kits....

If you send Danny a speaker he will evaluate it, make recommendations for improvements, tell you what to do, and then sell you the parts for you to install.

Typically this includes modification to the crossover, higher quality crossover components, elimination of the crossover circuit board in favor of point to point wiring of crossover components, lining the cabinet with No Rez (resonance reduction material), and replacing the speaker terminals with his proprietary tube connectors.

You can see what Danny does by checking out one of the many speaker modification videos he has posted on his YouTube channel.

Danny does do upgrades to speakers from other manufacturers. I've provided the link to the upgrade page. Take a look at the upgrades he's done so far.

Good luck,

Your room must be huge.  What's the ceiling height (recommend 0.625 times the room width - 23.75ft).  It'll take highly efficient speakers to fill that room to rock music levels.  Read one of Floyd Toole's books on room design.  With good room design (shape and size) room treatments aren't necessary.
