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!

just got me thinking

there is plastic in the oceans and landfills that are supposed to last 1 million years

why can't they make speaker driver surrounds with that cr%p?

just like black boxes on airplanes...  🙃

depends on the speaker and their construction, most last quite a long time if not damaged

as the poster above mentioned, worse come to worse, mids and woofers may need surrounds to be redone
