30 yr old speakers- time to replace drivers?


I have a pair of NHT VT1 speakers. The drivers seem to be in good shape. They have paper cones and rubber surrounds. After 30 yrs, should I upgrade crossovers and replace drivers?

If they sound good leave it for now. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

After you calculate the cost to replace the cross-over and driver, and time, I suggest you also listen around for new speakers or newish but used, in the same price range.  You may be able to enjoy an upgrade for a similar price, or not, but worth shopping a bit.
