Depends on the climate.. here in Hawaii the foam surround lasts about 10 years if you are lucky.
In comparison, the Altec surrounds look brand new even after 50-70 years.

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!
