Do speakers deteriorate with age?

I have a pair of Tannoy IIIlz speakers which I've used for many years and
apart from cleaning up the switches in the crossover at the back, they have
performed well. always a little on the bright side, they do seem in recent
months to be getting significantly brighter, or kind of presence heavy. I
guess it could be my ears aging but I did wonder if it might be time to
either get them tested or fixed or to just bite the bullet and buy
something more modern.
** You posted almost the same question, couple of months ago.
Get a tech to check the ESR of the bi-polar electros in the crossover network - bound to find some bad ones. If so, have him change them for film types.
Mostly, as speakers ( and ears) age they get duller.
So what do people think? To me they seem to be getting to sound rather like
JBLs these days!
