Buying a 10 years old loudspeaker


Buying a 10 years old loudspeaker like a Genesis 500 or a Watt Puppy 5 or 6, what should you care about ?
how long is it's life expectation?

thanks

Find out where you can get those speakers repaired if necessary. And If they're over 50 lbs., figure out the cost of moving/schlepping them for repair if necessary.

I had a set of B&W M802's; one started failing. Not sure if it was a crossover, or a driver, or both, etc. The cost to have them picked up & redelivered was @$70 each way I think. Plus the cost of repairs.They were killers to schlep, even with 2 people, & I sold them as-is & (Happily) moved on.

Components that are light enough to ship, & with a mfg. that does affordable repairs, are a different matter.....
