Lifespan of a quality solid state amplifier?


What is the expected lifespan of a quality solid state amplifier (Krell, Mark Levinson, Anthem, Bryton, Pass Labs)? Is their any maintenance that can be performed to extend the lifespan of one of these amps?

Between my buddy and I we have 3 SS amps still going strong after a combined 75+ years. All of them are 200WPC and up. Adcom, Kenwood, and Carver. The only issue is noisy volume pots on the Kenwood but I leave it at full volume all the time anyway so it is not an issue. Even the meters still work on the Kenwood and the Carver.
