Your modifications amount to a rebuild, rather like installing a modern engine and disc brakes in a Model T. I'm sure you improved the heck out of the speakers, but they're no longer SP2500s, nor are they anything like what an SP2500 sounds like. And that's a good thing.

I have a pair of SP2500s for sale. eBay reports their value at ~$150 plus shipping. The cabs are well made. Mine seem to function properly, with no rubs or scraping voice coils, etc. And I think they sound awful. I've had a few customers express interest due to their vintage nature and what they remember from their youth, and eventually they'll sell. But I hate it when they ask me what I think of them. I don't lie to customers, and I give them my honest opinion. As rock speakers, I guess their nearly okish. For classical and jazz they're just awful.
