Definitely deteriorate and in general if I was taking amps out of 15 years in storage, I would have a tech check them over. At the very least use a variac to get them slowly up to voltage don't just plug them in and flip the switch.
Question about caps in vintage power monoblocks
Folks,
If a pair of vintage power monoblocks (produced in mid 80s) was kept in storage for the last 15 years or so with less than 100 hours of use - would the capacitors continue to deteriorate while in storage at about the same rate as if one was continuing to use them or would the damage/drying of the caps slowed down/stopped once they were put in storage?
Thanks!
