Honestly, it's a terrible idea, and the results of such chance modifications are inevitably a disaster. The designers at Dali are very accomplished, and the midrange drivers in your speaker have been selected to match the other drivers in sensitivity and other performance parameters. The crossover has certainly been computer optimized to work precisely with the drivers. You are proposing to drop in drivers with completely different parameters, much higher sensitivity, totally different frequency response, Q, even impedance.
I can easily predict what will happen: the midrange will overpower everything else and the speaker will sound horrible. Ok, now that you know what will happen, it's up to you to decide whether or not you want to go ahead and do it. It's your money. BTW, I work for a driver company-as is evident from my moniker, and if you asked me the same question about a pair of my drivers, I'd give you the exact same answer. If you don't like the sound of your speakers, then spend your money on new speakers.
