Default Should I Re-cone a JBL L-65 Woofer ??

I have a pair of JBL L-65's , a 20 year old 3-way speaker. Boy,
these were nice speakers when I first bought them !!


The woofers are 10 inch designs, and both need reconing. The cost , with
associated shipping, will be in the $450 range for the pair.

I am wondering if my investment would be in the right direction. I know
that speaker technology has advanced a lot in 20 years, and that dollar for
dollar, I would assume that you get more with current purchases.

How much more than the $450 would I have to spend to get something as good
or better in today's market, and what recommendation of speakers would you
suggest ?

I would be interested in receiving any comments.

Thanks !!

Always check for a local shop that might refoam surrounds, if thats
what
it needs. You could also do it yourself, but of course, if your not
familiar
with these things I suggest not.
