2. speakers

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.

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.

If I remember correctly,  Jon's favorite was the TC60

Thanks everyone. I wonder how new caps on the crossover would impact the sound? The tweeters are fine so are the woofers. Just don't sound crisp if that is an audio file term.
