Update.
-Found a woofer with an excursion issue.
-Foam around the front baffles needed to be replaced.
-The piano lacquer finish was scratched up and needed TLC.
-Found out that there was a tweeter update a couple years back.
New woofer ordered. Typical of the high end they actually match the Thiele/Small characteristics so that it is unnecessary to purchase a matched pair.

So in that I was going to get new drivers, needed to replace the baffle foam, and we didn't want piano lacquer anyway....
We are having them repainted GM White Diamond Tricoat. I have attached an image.
I have decided the cabling will stay as is.
I may well get a universal media player as well. It takes all digital media, CD, streamed, etc, and pulls the information through its own D/A, so that no matter the source the sound is about as good as you are going to get. Also it has balanced (XLR) outputs.
It is an Oppo-105.

BTW even as is, the system is nothing short of stunning. Despite my nitpicking, I am very pleased with $$ versus what I now own.
