Coupling capacitors in tube amps are famous for degradation, but this is attributed to the high temperature environment and the high dc voltage they see. Film capacitors in a crossover network will probably last forever.
Aging of capacitors within crossover networks
Hi folks, I have red that capacitors within loudspeaker's crossover networks show aging with regard to their characteristics (inductance, capacitance, reactance etc.) which has consequences for the crossover itself and finally also for the loudspeaker's sound. Are you familiar with this phenomenon? Does this mean that loudspeakers which are 10 years or older must undergo filter modification (replacement of parts)? What is your opinion?
