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!

I have 20 year old 1.6's that I push pretty hard in a large room. Not in direct sunlight, but a room where I smoke. No sign of de-lamination. The crossovers have been removed to run active so I can't speak to crossover life.
