How old is "Too old for" drivers


Hi, I am wondering what anyones experience with aging speakers has taught them, specifically when is a good buy on older drivers driven under normal conditions not such a good buy ( 12+ yr old Eggleston Andras in this case)

Regards Kevin.

All depends on the environment the drivers were in. If always in heated/cooled space they could last over 50 years. I have some ProAc's that are over fifty years old and still sound great. Then again, I've had some Boston units that needed re foaming after 10 years. Environment is everything.
