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.

The serial numbers on my Altec 604Cs and on my 604Ds are 1956 and 1958 respectively. I have had them for 45 years.

I rotate them once a year, and have them serviced every 15 years.

The crossovers are Mastering Lab. The caps have been replaced.

Did I say “sound the same as new”? 

I did not. 

However, I obviously would not still be using them if I was not getting anything less than outstanding performance from them. 

The rest of your statement makes no sense to me.
