Why the change of equipment?
Seems a sideways and possibly slightly backward step to me...any changes in sound quality are likely to be fairly minimal, even with revealing speakers.
Nothing super fancy but I have a pair of JBL 7's that I bought new in 1994 and just had 4 of the 8 speakers rebuilt. The mid-bass and the bass speakers surrounds had just started to wrinkle, the speaker shop told me to replace them before they start to rip. The other speaker surrounds were in great shape. They did a great job and they sound wonderful again.
