i have 4 bose 901 series 2 speakers i bought new back in the day! in 2000 my phase linear 400 power amp fried 3 of them! the 4th, is still original and is still kicking it!!
How long do speakers last?
I ask because I have an opportunity to buy a pair of Von Schweikert VR-33's for an insanely good price. I get it: "it depends how hard they have been driven", but judging by the condition they were very nicely taken care of. My only concern is that will need repairs in the future whereas I could just spend that money on new speakers. On the other hand they sound fantastic. Just curious about the lifespan. They'd be a nice upgrade from my Klipsch bookshelves / sub combo.
