Wow Tireguy,
I had mine for 5 years and never had any problem. I live near the beach in Southern California resulting in dampness and fog at least 4 months of the year, you'd think that would lead to problems, but no ever. A lot of wood and metals do not fair well around here due to the salty air. The workmanship and veneer on them was absolutely first rate.
Tmoon,
Reynaud speakers, like everything else in this hobby, are a mater of personal tastes. They have a rich, engaging, quality that - to me- is intoxicating. Some would call this warm, I don't see it that way. Reynaud speakers are spectacular when mated with the proper tube components, but don't necessarily shy away from solid state.
Most of the speaker line is extremely easy to drive at ~90dB and a stable 4 ohm load. I drove mine with everything from 5 watt SET's to 40 watt push-pull and 250wpc solid state amps.
Let us know a little more about your personal tastes inmusic, the types of audio components you've listened to and liked/hated, and the room you'll be setting them up in.
