12-15 years seems to be the replacement period of ML panels. New panels will really make a difference.

My panels on my CLSIIA's were 19 years old and I thought they sounded great. I had to put in new panels after a tornado blew them apart and OMG! What a HUGE difference. Everything that I loved about the speakers just got better.

WOW!I hope no one was hurt! The last few comments make me think evaluating used MLs will be difficult - and that I should just budget and allow for new panels in the not to distant future.
