I can't see any reason why different drivers would be needed.
If you want more body a change of frequency response would be more likely to give it than any change of drivers, maybe adding tone controls would help those who prefer a different balance to standard?
A 1" tweeter is a good compromise between frequency response and directivity. The radiating area of the mid driver is similarly a good compromise (similar to the legendary ATC mid range dome). The piston area of the 2 existing bass drivers is about the same as 2 conventional 8" bass units (ie bigger than the B&W 803), which with SAM covers the entire audible bass range.
