Hi everyone,
I have a set of yamaha speakers and was wondering can I rebuild them with better drivers or should I just buy new speakers.

There should be some PSB dealers in Australia. Also, you may want to look into
the Paradigm Monitor series. Focal is a good one - however, the prices do seem
to be high there.

Building speakers is not a simple thing.

Drivers must be matched to cabinets, and matched to each other, and then crossovers must be custom built (or custom programmed) to suit. You can run into baffle problems, boundry-reflection problems, issues with cabinet resonance, etc.

Drive replacement is, in my opinion, most useful when there's an excellect set of speakers (Yamaha is not one that comes screaming to mind here) where a driver has gone bad, and where there's a designated drop-in replacement.

If you are going to, in essence, build your own speakers; you might as well build your own cabinets and really do it right.

My $0.02 anyway.
