With average use how long for panel replacement ML


Is there a general rule for panel replacement with average use for Martin Logan speakers? I am considering buying used because of cost but don't want to buy and have to replace right away. In which case I should just buy new.
Any guidance?

Sorry, Mac, but EVEN Magnepan panels have there own assorted problems.
Hi humidity? They apparently don't like it either.
The aluminum wire can corrode after years and the adhesive, 3m77 with overcoat only lasts so long. I am told it doesn't like UV, from direct sun, perhaps.
I had my 1st set of panels remanufactured when they were about 20+ years old when the HF part of the panel simply failed.
Everything mechanical or Electromechanical lasts only so long. Sorry, but that's the way it is.
