I have a pair of Klipsch La Scala, which were made in 1981 and a pair of K horn Speakerlab, which were made in 1971 for more than ten years and a pair of JBL K2 9000, made in 1990, which I bought 3 years ago. All of them are working with no issue. I thing they sound perfectly, but I all way wonder if how much their sound quality reduce compare to the new ones?
How long do good speakers last?
I just ordered a set of Sonus Faber Olympica Nova Vs, my first foray into nice speakers. I turn 51 this month and am hoping these will be the last speakers I ever buy. But it got me to thinking - how long should I expect these speakers to last? Or any good speakers for that matter? Does the foam eventually break down? Issues with general wear and tear? Appreciate your perspectives!
