I have come across this estimate a few times now: Websites have told me that every decade, your speakers' original price doubles, so that if you bought a 200 dollar speaker in 1970, your speakers now, if they were new, would be worth around 800 dollars.
Is this at all accurate?
If so, I wouldn't be surprised, considering how fantastic my old vintage speakers sound compared to many newer models I've heard.
However, it seems a little bit far-fetched at the same time, and may just be used as a marketing ploy?
But what is getting me here is that I have these Ohm Model B speakers (as just about everybody knows
) and if I could just upgrade the parts (since Ohm sells all the parts that go inside the Ohm speakers that they ever made, but the parts are of higher quality) it would be much better and much more convenient than actually upgrading the speakers themselves.
Basically, the thread is two-fold:
1. Is this estimation accurate?
2. How hard would it be to replace a crossover and the tweeter/woofer in my speakers?
Thanks in advance guys.
