My Krix Euphonics were purchased in the mid to late 80's, they were demonstrators from a shop that was closing. The surrounds are butyl type material, not foam so no degradation yet.. For a period in the mid 90's I drove them with a pair of Carver M400t amps, safe to say there was abuse then... Now they are powered by a Carver M500t, modded and overhauled by Nelion in Mich. My musical tastes have matured, as has my need for speed. They are still outstanding speakers, and can probably keep going, But I'm planning a move, and have a limited budget, so maybe a used pair of Dali or Monitor Silvers??? I prefer floor standing towers... My little tube system in the bedroom runs a pair of older Totem, Arros.
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.
