Original Legacy Studio Speakers

I’ve been kind of feeling like my LSA-10’s are a little too laid back for my amp, and I stumbled across a listing for a pair of Legacy Studios over on US Audio Mart. I’m thinking they might be a good match for my (CODA built) Legacy amp. 
Problem is that although the ad states that the drivers are original, they look different than the pics in the manual I found on Legacy’s website. Tweeter housing is different and woofer seems to lack the characteristic woven texture of kevlar.
Is it possible that these are an early version with slightly different drivers, or is this likely a bait and switch? Just thought I’d see what you guys thought...

thanks and cheers

With speakers that are now pushing 20 years old, should I be concerned about the crossovers needing rebuilt? Caps drifting out of spec, etc?
@bajaed Were your LSA’s from before Underwood HiFi acquired the company? Jealous of your Calibres, btw...

Yes my LSA's were pre Underwood. I liked them.

@rfnoise not sure if you’ve already completed your decision process … re your last question … yes, you probably can expect some caps can have drifted some out of spec (but probably more at risk in those much more than 20 years … I have some speakers in the 30-50 year old range) … if post 2000 more likely to be ok. The rest of the crossover elements (resistors, inductors, …) don’t really drift but there may be better or higher quality than what was used in what you have now. Degree of improvement obviously dependent on baseline original and degree of degradation. Good luck!
