The Cornwalls I have have had every possible upgrade done to them except the titanium driver diaphragms. Bob Crites told me that there was no upgrades for the k55 drivers. Can I get a link?
I have changed the tweeters to the CT 125s. The midrange horn has been changed to the Fastrac Cornwall.

The new wider horns did mellow the sound out a little, but not enough for some music. The crossover boards have been upgraded to some custom built 400hz boards. The internal surface has been lined with a product that looks like mini egg cartons. All of the internal wiring has been replaced with 14 gauge silver over copper wire.
I have a love hate relationship with these speakers. I love them when I have John Mayer or Jack Johnson cranked. I hate them when listening to Nickelback or even The Beatles if you can believe that. The whine in "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" makes me feel like I am doing real damage to my hearing.
