My father bought a pair of Scott 3-way "bookshelf" speakers in 1966, along with a Garrard idler wheel-driven changer and a Scott 15 watt transistor receiver. The Garrard has been dead for at least 25 years, the receiver for 10, but the speakers are still going strong in my 2-channel home theater system. They are an acoustic suspension design with a 12" woofer, so while inefficient they go quite low and quite loud with sufficient power. They can scream in fact. Actually much more than adequate for this application.
Who has the oldest speakers?
When my older brother came home from the service in 1971, he had a very large Pioneer stereo system. It came with some very large floorstanding speakers. I don't see him very often, but I saw him last month and to my surprise, he still has the same system, with the same speakers and believe it or not, it sounds great. He takes really good care of the system and it is in immaculate shape. That makes those speaker about 30 years old, more or less.
