How do you know when the crossover needs changing?

I have a pair of 27 yr old speakers and one of the drivers sounds a little on the shrill side in my room so I turn it down on the speaker controls. Is this a sign? And what differnce could a modern crossover have? And does rewiring make any worthwhile improvements? I have a pair of OHM I's. Thanks for all you members responses in the past. audiogon is a wonderful resource of info. Mike

That crossover needs changing along with the oxidized wire in the speaker. Parts express has crossovers and wire, plus they give good advice. When I said crossover I meant capacitors and wire for sure.
