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.

If the speakers haven't been abused, ie. driven to distortion, the there shouldn't be any reason for them to last for a couple of decades, if not more.

Why not call Von Schweikert and see how much repairs/upgrades are- just in case.

I know my Vandersteen's can either be shipped back whole or by removing the damaged driver and having it repaired.
