It's just my opinion but I think reconing the speakers is overkill when the only thing that breaks is actually the surrounds which are well-reachable and available for purchase. I don't see a need to replace anything else. The quality of the speakers and the parts contained is really very good, and the fact that the surrounds are breaking is just a consequence of the amplitude they have to suffer - bit of a tradeoff for the great sound being produced. No material can withstand that forever, it's actually amazing that they last for so long. All other parts in the woofers are not degrading if handled correctly. Please keep in mind that when Slimdevices designed the Boom, they programmed the DSP to match the woofer characteristics exactly to get the best out of them, and any modification or picking different chassis might collide with that, ending in a sound much worse than before. The DSP programming is part of the firmware and cannot be modified to adjust for other speakers. New surrounds are not as critical as long as they are not too stiff and provide an air-tight seal. I would not mess with anything closer to the magnetic parts though.
PN me if your Boom / Classic / Transporter display has issues!
