Lifespan of a quality solid state amplifier?


What is the expected lifespan of a quality solid state amplifier (Krell, Mark Levinson, Anthem, Bryton, Pass Labs)? Is their any maintenance that can be performed to extend the lifespan of one of these amps?

Regards,

Good question. I don't think there is really much required in the way of care and feeding. I am on more than 20 years on my PS Audio 250 Deltas, and they still sound fantastic.

That said, there are problems that crop up with amplifiers, tubed as well as solid-state, lord knows why.

Not sure that there is really a defined lifespan, but for the prices we pay for some of this stuff, it should be forEVER, right?
