Proac Response 2.5 - How long will they last?

I have a ten year old pair of Proac Response 2.5's.

While they still sound great I wonder how long they will last until I have to do something to them. They are never abused and play primarily Jazz, Classical and a little rock.

Are they OK "forever" or is there something I need to do now or down the road to keep them in good shape.

Thanks

One thing great about the 2.5 is that the replacement drivers are well-known and available.

I owned a pair of 2.5s for three years that were from the late '90s and loved them.

One day, I plan to make the DIY versions with a veneer not commonly used on speakers.
