What is the lifespan of a good SS Amp


Consider to go for a used SS Amp.
Around 4-5 years old.
Wonder how long one good SS Amp lasts.
I know that some 20 yo tube amps cost more than their
original retail price and they may last for centuries
(just need tube change)
but wonder how it is with the SS.
If I go for 4-5 yo SS Amp will I be able to enjoy it for a long years or after another few years it will start giving me problems.

Thanks for your help.

My two McIntosh 2105 Amps are still going strong after 32 years of ownership, and they've never needed service. Never even had a lamp go out, but I did decide to replace them all about 5 years ago. Mark
