After 40 years with intense listening and hardware skill development, I rekindled the HiFi hobby a couple of years ago.
Like to find and bring back some old equipment 'from the days', and in general go out and find anything Hifi to bring home and 'roll through' the 2 systems I have, constantly adding new and letting go of old equipment.
Even bought a turntable (no real intensions of using a lot) and NICE (great to look at) reel to feal (Akai and Teac).
Main system in HUGE (volume) room constist of 5.1 (for TV/Movies and SACD) with B&W Nautilus 804 front (relieved of low frequency duty via high pass) and Dayton Audio 18-22 sub in sealed encloser driven by external ED LT1300 sub amp.
Also tinkering with building speakers, and modifying existing (current projects: Kef B139 based 3 way that needs fixing, and Infinity Quantum 2 convesion to bi amp (or tri or quad?).

Another one dead? The K040 was used in many retail and diy speakers in the 70s.
Lookls like DIY, but the serial number sort of belioes that.
A Fried R style resistive vent encosures.
You are likely not going to find those Peerless. Most are dead of surround rot.
I would lose everything but the woofer and add a nice 3 or 4” full range and make a WAW (Woofer Assisted Wideband). Easier to do if you biamp,
Whatever you do you will have to rework the XO.

Replacing the mid range will require to build an enclosure. Would then bring tweeter on axis. But redoing the crossover is always trial and error. I will first try to find someone to rebuild the Peerless or find 2 of the Peerless in 8 ohm (refoamed found on ebay but 4 ohm).
