There have ben cases where the butyl foam surrounds around woofers deteriorates over time - it's happened to me with a pair of approx. 12-year-old CTS 15's. But it's not a major problem because the woofers can be re-foamed or even completely re-coned. In my case the foam just rotted away & the problem was visually obvious.
How long do the speakers last before a service?
I know I will get various answer, but are there any simple rule? I am aiming for the used speakers. Say if I get a 5 years old speakers. How long will it last with me (presumeable the previous owner take care of them well) before it needs a service/repaired/calibration?
I would feel awful if I can use a used 1k speakers for only a year or two and then need to pay for the service again.
Any rule of thumb on this?
