[QUOTE="JNouw, post: 573493, member: 14329"] Some Alnico magnets could loose their strength, but only if taken out the circuit. ( I don't know if you can remember the old horseshoe magnets with the bar across the ends? That bar was there to keep the strength) Depending on climatic conditions, I'd say the voice coil should keep good, and as for the surround (pleated cloth) and cone, these just get better with age - provided they are kept within climatic bounds that is. That is also why many speakers need a 'break in' period, some take several months even. My Fanes in my Onkens only started giving proper bass after about 5 months!! [/QUOTE]
