How long should high quality speakers last?

My Zu Omen Def MKii (rev B) are going on 13-14 years old. The speakers sound wonderful. I have no intention of parting with them. The speakers came with the latest ZU tweeter design. How long should I expect the speakers to last without any issues? I do not abuse the speakers and run them with my Luxman 595ase amp.

I'm wondering what is the oldest speaker still playing out there all original with no repairs or upgrades.

100 years in direct sunlight...sounds like I'm good. I could have the cabinets refinished if I want a visual change.

@georgemunn I am going to order the plinth. I was unaware ZU offered the Omen Def Supreme tweeters. I'll have to look those up

I believe ZU has discontinued the Omen Def Supreme. Maybe they will still build them on special order, however, they are no longer on the site. I'm a pro photographer and the site still uses a photo I took for them back in 2012. The B&W image of the omen def large driver close up.
