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.

These are close to 50 years old and still sound pretty damn good!

@fsonicsmith Right on track with the statement …”worry about your loved ones, and your liver, lungs and heart before worrying about how long your dang loudspeakers will last”

Some people have more money than sense. Thanks for stating the obvious that is just plainly missed or forgotten by some folks…..what’s really important.

My dad's Snell D-3's are thirty years ago and to my ears, they sound great with his similarly 30-year old Adcom amp and preamp combo. He bought them all together.

He has not done any type of maintenance to any of them.
