@stuartk No Altered States or Doctor’s Delerium episodes (the latter reference with respect to those poor soldiers subject to experimentation in service to the US).  Only induced flashbacks as memories of the past.   
Weak link

In order of my personal SQ preference.  Reverse the order if you are concerned with aesthetics.   1:  Vivid Kaya K45. 2:  YG Carmel 3.      3:  Estelon Aura. All three come in custom colors.  All three are known for clarity, dynamics, staging and...

The Doors:  Alabama Song and Back Door Man  
Power cord
Have you auditioned both and arrived at these two brands as your final choice?  Of the two at your price point I would choose AQ.  If you have not auditioned, add WyWires Platinum.  I preferred them over similarly priced AQ. Very neutral, spacious...

30 yr old speakers- time to replace drivers?
Degradation in SQ with rubber surrounds is brand and design dependent. I do not know your speaker.  In a vacation home in Vermont I have a vintage system used for background music, with 1981 DCM TimeWindows, with rubber surrounds.  It has been pub...
