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!

Late 80's B&W 801 matrix 2 which, aside from replacing grill fabric due to original owner's music loving cat, have required zero maintenance in over 30 years.  I keep the fabric on to prevent UV damage as the room has natural light.
