27 years on capacitors in those crossovers is a good and long time. If you like the speakers, get the crossovers rebuilt. mostly you just need new caps. The main thing is many crossover caps do not have the values printed on them... so you might do a little net searching to find owners who know what the values are supposed to be.
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
