I hear you....I am an engineer (large scale, enterprise class computer systems) and I ALWAYS have the desire to "tinker" I found a pair of older Axioms (AX2) at a clearance/junk sale. They were in bad shape, so I brought them home, disassembled them and rebuilt them. I incorporated a few things that could not be included from the factory, strictly due to price point. I was astonished at how much better they CAN sound. So much so, that I was contemplating surgery on my AX3's!
I love adjusting, playing, listening, swapping out pieces(especially of differing quality and price)....what a great hobby!
