I have a pair of Pioneer CS-44 speakers in good shape. Decent cabinets, and working tweeters and woofers. I think these speakers sound pretty dull. The cabinets are very nice and the construction seems top notched.
The CS-44's tweeter opening diameter is 2.75", the tweeter measures 3 7/8" across.
The CS-44's woofer opening diameter is 7.25", the woofer measures 8.50" across.
I don't want to do any physical modifications so I am somewhat limited in replacement components.
I would like to replace the woofers and tweeters in these with the following from Parts Express.

Woofer:

Before I pull the trigger, I would like some thoughts from my fellow Ak members here. I am also open to replacing the components with anything out there that would be an upgrade from the original. I have never done anything like this so your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
