I have an older pair of B&W P6 speakers....purchased them new approximately in ~1997. They have been used in numerous applications, HT & stereo.
After I purchased my 705's...the P6s just sound DEAD. Midrange and tweeters sound lifeless. I had the tweeters replaced, but that didn't change the sound.
What I'm wondering is if the 705's are THAT much better of a speaker or if something is drastically wrong with my P6 series speakers, i.e., crossover or midrange.
I'm by no means an 'audiophile', I just know what sounds good to me.
Is there anything I can do to physically check to determine what, if anything is wrong? i.e. resistance? Or do speakers age that much over time and this sound should be expected? Would it be cost effective to replace drivers/cross-over?
Shoot, I have a pair of Paradigm 7s that sound better than my P6's!!
I'm currently using an older Adcom Amp GFA-5400 to drive these towers.
Any input/insight would be greatly appreciated...
