Would the ring tweets used in the LSMi or Reserve be able to just be "dropped" into the 10s, or would the cabinet need to be modified?

    There are not drop in, they more than likely will need both cabinet and crossover mods to use them.

    Very difficult to remove existing tweeter from the bezel w/out destroying it. Either:
    1. Upgrade the speakers’ passive XO components as a few have on this forum or had another member (VR3) do it for them: F1nut, Booker, JC sound to name a few
    2. Yank out all the passive XO components and, except for a DC blocking cap, tri-amp ‘em - I did. Then you can use any tweeter you want. The EXO won’t care
    3. Learn to live them as they are

    My $0.02 cents
