Do speakers wear out?


I have a 15-year-old pair of B&W Matrix 803s that I bought two years ago. Do speakers wear out? If so, is it the drivers or the crossovers. My speakers sound good, but I have not heard a 2 - 3 year old pair to compare. Joel

Personal experience:
I owned four AR-LST's (later called Cello Amati's) for over 20 years. Other than replacing the woofers due to surrounds and the grill cloth, they worked perfectly and sounded great.
I now own B&W800's that are about 10 years old and (since actively bi-amping) feel they produce the best sound that I have ever heard at any price.
