If they sound good leave it for now. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

What he said. ____________________________________________________________ About the worse recommendation I’ve seen on here yet.... You always want to think about long term maintenance on your equipment, especially after it gets older than a couple decades. All electrical components degrade over time. You would not get on an airplane that had this type of maintenance policy, would you? Granted speakers are not airplanes but maintenance is important on ageing vintage gear, I’ve lost amps due to caps failing. Do not follow anyone who says if it isn’t broken don’t touch it, that’s asking for issues. Driver’s unless visually bad are probably fine. some will say to rotate them 180 degrees every couple decades, so the suspension relaxes evenly. This helps prevent uneven sagging and voice coil hitting the magnets’ structure. I have drivers that are 50+ years old that work fine. Crossovers can be and should be checked caps do go bad, not as often in speakers as power supplies though. But it’s easy to check these items and if fine leave them. Or upgrade if that’s something you’re interested in. last thing yes put money into old speakers if working well and sound good to you, its not a lot of money we are talking about. You're not going to buy new speakers that out perform these for what a little maintenance will cost. not even close. vintage gear can and is fun and surprisingly good in many cases. will newer ones sound better, maybe yes thats for you and your wallet to deside. |
