I've been given 4 B&W bookshelf speakers, I think originally made in the 80's. I know nothing about hifi but I've just moved to a new flat and bought a decent telly, and I'm wondering if I can fix up these speakers instead of buying a soundbar?
Would really appreciate any opinions about whether these are worth trying to fix up or if I'd be better of just buying new? I'm on a budget so every penny counts at the moment. The guy who gave them to me used them as monitors in a jazz studio and thinks they need variously need new cross-overs and/or tweeters.
I barely understand what a cross-over is so I'm a bit out of my depth... But they're clearly quality things, heavy and solid with (I think) teak surrounds that would clean up lovely.
Yes lovely kit, among the best of its type, but if you need components replaced, it will be costly. They also show up the deficiencies of poor-quality electronics.
