Is it safe to assume this is some old stock manufactured some 10+ years ago? How long do crossover capacitors last before sound starts to degrade?

Personally, I've never dealt with capacitors degrading and affecting the sound quality. I've only had them function or not. I have replaced caps in some Yamahas that were under 15 years old,...

Any cheap amplifier with Bluetooth? Don’t want a full size 2ch receiver. Are those Pyle amps just a pile of crap? BT + an extra input would let me use it for the TV, too.

You want the front 3 to be "voice matched". Rears do not need to match the fronts.
