Double speaker question

Hello Peter and Svend fans.

I have questions regarding the Beolab 8000 I own since ages.

1°) Do a 10+ years speaker need a service ? Will I gain in quality if I renew whatever part of the speakers ?

They look like new outside but they may not be "new" inside even if I use them gently.

I think the sound faded a little bit when we changed our home 5 years ago but it must be the new environment and placement.

2°) Will you ad a Beolab 11 on a 10+ years speaker ? I'm afraid that the "mixture" between old and new speakers is not good, that the 8000 will somehow suffer.

I would like a new pair of speakers and maybe a Encore to replace my BS9000, but the Beolab 3 are too small, the Beolab 9 too big and the Beolab 5 too expensive and I don't whant an other pair of 8000 (8002).

Thanks for your help.

Only ten years? Should be just about run in! I am sure they are fine - adding a BL11 is fine but audition first. The BL11 will actually reduce the stress rather than add!

Thank you Peter.

Actualy my Beolab 8000 are from mid 2000 I think, so they are 12 years old.

Glad too know they are just run in !

One day I will borrow a lab 11.
