How long should high quality speakers last?

My Zu Omen Def MKii (rev B) are going on 13-14 years old. The speakers sound wonderful. I have no intention of parting with them. The speakers came with the latest ZU tweeter design. How long should I expect the speakers to last without any issues? I do not abuse the speakers and run them with my Luxman 595ase amp.

I  have a pair of Canton Karat 200s (made in West Germany) in my vintage system that I purchased in the summer of '85. They still sound beautiful---the spring clips in one speaker is a little loose. Other than that---no problems.

I had a pair of Bose 901s Series 2..there were 50 years old  and all the Woofers rotted...that's 18 speakers to repair or replace. .I don't think so...
