   Problem Advents

   Maybe somebody here might have a usefull suggetion.   
      
   I have a pair of Advent Legacy speakers which I bought in the late 80's,   
   new, driven by an SR-3A Nakamichi receiver.  About 16 years ago the foam   
   in the woofers basically disintegrated and I had them rebuilt by a lab   
   in PA, can't remember the name.  They sounded really great afterwards.   
    Anyway, they sound pretty bad now - sort of mushy and fuzzy..  Can't   
   make out the lyrics easily to well produced songs.  The foam around the   
   woofers still looks perfect.  I have Audio-technica headphones and the   
   receiver is very clear through them.  I played some music through the   
   Advents at volume and headphones at the same time to see if the clarity   
   was breaking down with a load larger than the headphones, and the   
   Advents sounded fuzzy and the A-T's sounded clear.  Any ideas regarding   
   cleaning the sound of these babies up?  Gotten attached to them over the   
   last 35 years:-)
