Hello 2x6,
Ian/Axiom never did this during my ten years or so at Axiom.
Ian was always trying to improve the M80s so they would score a bit higher than previous versions on the double-blind listening tests, which explains the small incremental improvements and series of V2, V3 designations over the history of the speaker. Sometimes it wasn't just a matter of crossover tweaks; occasionally he'd try out new drivers as well.

I swapped out the cross-overs in my Forte I's a few weeks ago. X-overs were attached to the speaker terminal cup. Had to remove them and then attach the great-big new Crites x-overs to the reinforcing brace. Took a little bit of work, but definitely worth it!
I'd love to operate on my M80s and improve the sound quality.

The biggest risk to changing components is if a designer matched performance to the individual components in the speaker, you risk changing the sound, and results can be mixed.

The tweeter resistors help. Axiom sent me a set many years ago.
