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.

Pernilla,

I think Sean has a great idea (wish I'd thought of it). Another bit of information: there are companies out there that are able to replace the surround (and the spider I imagine) of various drivers. I've not tried any of these services before. Perhaps others at AudiogoN have? That said, it seems that this would be cheaper than replacing the drivers in your speakers and help retain more of the sound that you've enjoyed for so many years.
