Lansche plasma tweeter replacement every 5000 hours.


Who would purchase a speaker with a tweeter life span of 5000 hours? I was seriously thinking of picking up a pr used here on audiogon till I heard you have to purchase a new tweeter for $2000-2500 after 5000 hours. That’s ridiculous to say the least. Who knows if they will even be around in the next 5-10 years.

b_limo, check your math.  40 hours a week for 2 1/2 years works out to 5200 hours, or replacement time for the tweeter.  I agree that 5,000 hours is a lot of listening.

Oops, meant to say 5000.  Transposed the $2000 repair bill.  Dyslexic? 

It does seem to be the problem with this type of device - there's been a number of different ones made over the years but only a couple of manufacturers survive - useful background here
