Do speakers deteriorate with age?
Back in the old days I could hear the alarm clock in the Monkeys Daydream
believer, and so there have been changes. I have no print out from that
time to tell what my ears were like either!
I suppose this is where one needs to actually go out and hear speakers or
better still listen to some in your own home.

Yes, both the loudspeaker units and some components in a crossover may
change enough with age or use to make a noticable difference. But it might
be your ears. Only way to tell is to get speakers and / or ears checked.

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. So what do people think? To me
they seem to be getting to sound rather like JBLs these days!
