I have spica angelus speakers, how do I know when the cross over needs rebuilding?

My spicas sound a little dull. I was wondering if the cross over is the cause. How do I check? They are large and it's cumbersome to take to a repair shop. I,m not sure if it's the speaker, my hearing or the fact I have single driver speakers in my other system. Thanks for your thoughts.

Wasn't Spica sold to Parasound?

It was,  Jon was doing Precision Audio Services and later changed to Precision Sevices.  Jon was very good friends of one of my best friends.  I met Jon through him.

He could probably make some money if he resurrected the brand and did Mark II versions of the TC50 and the Angelus.

I heard S. Angelus on several occasions and while it was an exceptional speaker for the price a number of years ago, I feel replacing it with something new (or even a vintage speaker of better quality) would be a better choice- they just sounded "indistinct".  Even many small monitors these days get exceptional reviews while lacking just a bit of low bass- and more often than not, this is not regarded as critical on many types of music.
