I have a pair of Polk Monitor 10's that have worked like a dream for over 10 years. Is there such thing as a "tune up" for speakers such as this that are as old as mine? OR is it best to leave a good thing alone?
COMPONENTS:
Surround Receiver: Denon AVR-1803/883
DVD Player: Panasonic DVD RP62
CD Player: Sony CDP CX450
SPEAKERS:
Front: Polk Monitor 10 Series 2
Front Center: Polk CSi30
Sub: Polk PSW303
Rear Surround: Polk R30's
Rear Center: Polk CSi20

    Welcome to the forum!

    You can upgrade the crossovers, other than that, just enjoy.

    F1 is not talking about a swap-out, just simply upgrading the crossover components (not needed, just a tweak some enjoy). Ie: going with better resistors, coils, and caps. Something along the line of Mills resistors, Solen or Audiocap capacitors, etc.

    As far as general maintenance, keep the cabs clean with a little murphy's oil or lemon oil, lightly vacuum the grills, and check your wire connections for oxidation (if you are in the bare-wire club), other than that, En-friggin-Joy.

    The RuSsMaN is correct, I was speaking of upgrade not swap out.
