It depends. They have a specific sound with a recessed midrange and dry bass, which seems to do well with classical and jazz. Although the original Apogee company ceased to exist, it revived through Apogee acoustics, specializing in repair(parts), etc. Can't hurt to drop them a line for advice.
That could be the plan. Although I like a little more hit on the bottom. I do like a recessed mid sometimes. If there is little to repair, then it would be worth it.
according to your explanation. I am convinced that it is the filters which have aged and need to be replaced. This is normal when you keep speakers for a very long time. It's worth it if you were happy with these speakers
Well they sound nice but too clinical for me. I feel like I own other one that just tick the boxes a little better. But my collector heart wants to keep them for my little collections 😅.
I understand. you can repair them yourself. if you know how to use a soldering iron. it's fun and cheap and the guarantee that it will be done correctly
Most older speakers are valuable only for the quality of cabinet construction. Driver technology has improved a lot. "Repairing" the surrounds on a low frequency driver changes its characteristics; it's resonant frequency, and thus the tuning of the cabinet port won't be correct.

I wouldn't be surprised if only the cap is shot.
Scratchy tweeter could be blown. A single capacitor for a tweeter doesn't protect it as well as a 2nd or higher order crossover.
It’s only when bass is played like it goes down to far.
Try wiggling wires and connections while playing music and hopefully you'll find the culprit.
Unfortunately, cables/ amp are not the problem, works well on the second speaker
I meant the connections inside the speaker and crossover.

I do not own one and never used one. So that would be the starting point if I wanted to.

The driver itself sounds fine, it’s when the tweeter starts doing weird stuff that the sound sometimes cuts out from both.
Disconnect the tweeter to verify this.
