How Long Should a First Watt SIT3 Last ?

I'm fairly certain my Quicksilver Monos are kaput. Im thinking maybe I don't want to mess with the troubles and uncertainties of  tubes. Im considering getting a used SIT3, but how long should they Last considering the internals are no long available if I encounter a problem?

Thank you,

@mrdecibel Looking back concerning baffling the horns in the Heresy IV, yes I did in fact try that but was not happy. The harshness all went away I believe in the 7th week of constant on.

 

I did stuff the port holes with acoustic foam. with the ports open the cabinets were singing and it was not appreciated. Foam still in.

 

Thanks for everything

LOL. Windom stuck on my PSAudio DAC. I need to get what PSAudio calls a firmware rescue.

 

If only we could leave things alone, right?
