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!

In 1972 my wife and I bought a pair of Bose 901, Series 1.  That was before Bose started using foam surrounds. They still play in our son's basement party room almost fifty years later.
