    Don't know how easy it would be but I'd unscrew/unmount the tweeter and gently push it out from the back with a soft cloth. I did that with some speakers I bought on CL that had pushed in caps.

    Well your nice avr is rated at 130-140 per channel and the tsi400 is recommended 20-200 per channel so I'd be asking myself if another 60-70+ per channel will give me the desired improvement in sound...
