I have a very good working pair of L-200's, but after reading this and other forums, I decided to experiment with upgrading it. I have purchased:

- a pair of 136A woofers that the seller said came from L-300's,

- a pair of 2405 slot drivers, and

- a BBE Max-X3 2-way stereo electronic crossover.

I like to replace the L-200's LE-15A woofers with the 136A's, keep the LE85 driver with the H91/L91 horn/lens combo and then add the 2405's in an outboard box made especially for them.

I would use the crossover to feed the upgraded L-200's frequencies below say 7KHz (I would use the single L-200 inputs, not the bi-amp ones), and feed the higher frequencies to the 2405's. The crossover has separate gain controls for the high and low frequencies, so I can match the efficencies of the L-200 and 2405.

I have some questions:

1) Am I setting myself up for disaster, or is this a good plan?

2) I've never pulled the drivers out of the L-200 cabinent before. To remove the LE-15A, do I just unscrew the 8 bolts around the periphery of the surround and then pull the speaker outwards, or do I need to go into the back of the cabinent first?

3) I see that the L-300 has only one port and the L-200 has two. Should I stop up one of the L-200 ports?

Thanks
