How old is too old ?....

Over the last year I've been updating my system,that was long over due.
Replaced a 16 year old cd player..mission DAD 7000
Hafler 110 pre..Blue Circle 3.1
Hafler DH 500...Bryston 4B ST( currently replacing again)
Various cables,too numerous to mention.
However I still have my old speakers Kef 104.2 and continue to like the sound.
These speakers are 16 years old.
My question...has technology marched on and left me and my Kefs behind?
I will replace at some time but for now I would like to keep these.
What improvement can I expect with newer speakers..a little ..alot....WOW...
Am I upgrading in the right order?
I've been told that all the upgrades ,to date,are wasted unless I replace the speakers ..VERY SOON.
Is a true statement?

Yes, there was an unbelieveable improvement.
One that I would not have believed if I didn't hear it with my own ears.
I am very satisfied with the sound now but since I have spent considerable (I think anyway)amt of $$$$ and time researching every piece of equipment and am now enjoying the fruits of my labour,should I stop here or reach for another apple.
So the profit margin is very high on speakers,eh!!!!!!!
Kinda makes used speakers look pretty good,doesn't it?
Thanks for the info......much appreciated!!!!

Jvia..you may not be tooooo far from the true.
I just maybe looking for a excuse to update.
I still have and I am listening to the kefs,as I type this reply.
The reason I have itchy fingers and am looking to update ,is the improvement in sound was SOOOOO unbelieveable with all the other updates ..why stop here!!
My biggest problem is I am very isolated and it is impossible to listen to other speakers.
I know trust your ears but it isn't possible for me.
So all advice I get helps me make that decision.
All my updates ,to date..no pun intended,have been made with
info supplied to me ,from forums such as this.
