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!

My Acoustat 1+1's electrostatics are doing quite well, thank you for asking. I had to refoam the RH Labs sub but it also is doing well. Call it 30+ years for all of them... so far!
I have to go retrieve my dad's B&W Matrix 800's... I'm HOPING they'll be okay as they've gotten very little use in 20 years. *fingers crossed*
Happy listening.
