How long does it take a decent quality speaker to "wear out"?

After all, they do have moving parts and capacitors. . . .

(I suppose that "decent quality" s a relative term.  FTR, I am running a pair of the older B&W 805s, and for all I know, they may not actually meet the criteria of "decent quality.")

Matthew:

The old production 5ar4's were a good investment (get them while you can).

I purchased the remaining stock of the Benji Frank eyeglass frames I wear (90% off closeout) and they are now unobtainable @ any price.

Though they are durable frames I'm down to 9 out of 11 pairs (hard on glasses).

Think you are OK with the B&W for now+++ as they used good poly caps and wirewound resistors in their crossovers (you have already addressed the driver materials used).

How did you end up with good rectifier tubes for the Cary preamp?
