30 yr old speakers- time to replace drivers?


I have a pair of NHT VT1 speakers. The drivers seem to be in good shape. They have paper cones and rubber surrounds. After 30 yrs, should I upgrade crossovers and replace drivers?

I have a pair of Boston Acoustics A150’s. I’ve re-coned the woofers but sound excellent still. 40 years old! Point being yours can sound great, too. If the woofer surrounds are not disintegrated and they sound good I’d say leave them alone.  If you can eye-ball the caps would be good to make sure they're not leaking.
