how old is too old when buying speakers?


I am considering buying Linn Tukan speakers over the net that are 5 years old. I was wondering whether people would consider this too old to buy speakers, and whether people have had good experiences in general buying audio equipment over the net? It seems a little scary buying components that are used that you have not heard.

I've bought lots of stuff on a'gon and have not had any problems with the transaction. (Fedex is another matter).

I've bought two pair of Tukans for secondary systems and think they are great for the cost.

Assuming they weren't over driven, 10 years is conservative and yes the capacitors will go first,
