Do loudspeakers need to be Refurbished?


My speakers, a 4 way unit were built by a high end manufacturer in Belgium in 1983. Speakers are still great. However, as I read all the new reviews of great speakers I was thinking two things.
Do I need a new speaker? How much progress has speakers made in 15 years.
Do I need to replave some of the speaker units? Do speakers get old over time? I guess so. Maybe woofers, midranges, or tweeters go faster.
I have no expereince in this area and have never read about anyone talking about.

I have noticed that in just the last 5-6 years speakers have made a tremendous leap in price/performance. Especially in mid/upper drivers. I listened to a set of $5000 quad usa monitors the other day. As usual, their midrange was excellent. It used to be that nothing could touch a quad for midrange. It struck me that now there are quite a few speakers that accomplish a similar quality midrange. Speakers with conventional drivers ! Go shopping and see what you like.
