???Modern Speakers???Life Expectancy???

The demise of my 20 year old amplifier has me thinking about this a lot lately..I have speakers that had manufacture periods starting in late 2012(Harbeth M30.1)& 2014(Dynaudio Excite X14)..Both are low hours usage & it's  likely neither is over 300-400 hours use..At 63 years old & failing health is it likely I will outlive the speakers or that I will need replacements in say the next 10 years?Is there any preventative  maintenance that will keep them fit for duty?Thanks much all.

I just gave my brother a 23 year old pair of Sonus Faber Concertos that still lookand sound great.  

Time can take it's toll on certain things like surround material and glues but it seems those speakers have stood the test of time.   

Fortunately 8 years left on my main speaker warranty and 10 on my new Omega so hopefully don't have to worry for a while.
