[QUOTE="JacoP, post: 66864"] If all drivers are in good condition, I would rebuild them as is. Nothing like giving a classic a new look. Other option, if you want to go floorstanding, is to build the cabinet and put a false extension on, so that they look like floorstanders, but still the same internal size, i.e. almost a built-in stand that forms part of the cabinet. My view has always been, specifically on a bookshelf, to have the tweeter ear height when sitting in your comfy position. The other problem is that you will not get any TS Parameters on the woofer and converting it to a full on floorstander, might change the sound completely and even worsen it. I have refurbished cabinets for people before, and it is a joy to see their faces once I deliver. ;D [/QUOTE]
