Polk S-8 Speakers getting old


We have 40 year old Polk S-8 speakers and they have served us well but my feeling is they are starting to show their age.  Any thoughts on what speaker brands to listen to for true analog sound. Do not want anything too tall but good solid sound across all spectrum tone and bass.  Suggestions anyone.

Hmm. Budget. Existing equipment (amp, preamp, cd, what are the etc), music tastes, room size, etc etc? There lots of speakers that can do a lot better for you than 40 year old Polks I’m sure for under a grand. Set your budget for around 3k and willing to buy used you can get some really nice speakers. 

I picked up some Focal 836w a month ago for $700 ($4500 new) and that are fantastic for my tastes. If my music style was different I could see they could maybe be a big fail. So see where I’m going?  Lot of people say good speakers play everything equally well if they are good speakers. Thats BS IMO.
