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.

Really old speakers may be doing just fine after 50, 60 or even 70 years. Those paper cones can last a very long time if not abused. More recent speakers with foam surrounds are another story. They may rot out after only 15 years or so.
