The only thing I would be worried about are the caps in the crossovers and the driver surrounds starting to crack/dry out after so many years. So maybe a call into Mirage is in order to ask them about these issues and if they can point to a local tech who can check those out along with any other issues they suggest. After their check up, your speakers may be given the thumbs up for the next 20 years.

Enjoy them in good health and for as long as you can.

Cyril : Great Post. I fully agree.
