As I work down my speaker journey I started to think about the value of NEW speakers vs older speakers. It feels like high quality speakers from 10 to 15 years ago might be a better option (value?) than new speakers that can be had at the same price. In other words... is there anything wrong with looking for 20 year-old Paradigm speakers for $250 instead of buying a $250 set of new speakers?
I guess the idea is that the older speakers at the current price were "made better" or were "higher quality" at the same price point of the new version? Do speakers wear out considerably? Like over 15 - 20 years? Just wondering the best approach, since I have seen lots of discussion about "buying used' over new.
Thoughts?
