Pete.......It is difficult to say. I bought them new 20 years ago, and enjoyed them a great deal during those years, but they have not been the only speakers I have listened to, so I don't really have a permanent imprint of their sound from then until now. The 4312A's still sound good, and still handle power well, although they are only powered with the MA5100 integrated amp right now (45 Watts per channel). The midrange and tweeter pots still funtion properly with no intermittent spots. I just think that after 20 years the capacitors could probably stand to be refreshed with new ones, and perhaps of a higher quality. I'm still thinking about it.
