Rickpur...are you asking out of curiousity or are you experiencing a degradation in the sonics from your system? If you are running an all-tube system and things have been getting gradually worse, or even if they suddenly got worse, I would look at your tube amps and make sure you don't have a bad tube as Mapman suggested. Do you know how many hours you have logged on your power output tubes, the input and driver tubes, etc...?
Speaker Longevity
Can someone give me some advice on how speakers wear? I have a 10 year old pair of Vienna Acoustic Beethoven's. I have never turned them up and l don't listen to rock, I basically listen to Solo vocal, Acoustic, Sacred Vocal, and Chamber. I have been running them through an all tube system by Quicksilver Audio, with a Vandersteen sub.. Do they degrade over time? Or, do speakers either work or not work?
Thanks, I would really appreciate some knowledgeable input.
