How long do good speakers last?


I just ordered a set of Sonus Faber Olympica Nova Vs, my first foray into nice speakers. I turn 51 this month and am hoping these will be the last speakers I ever buy. But it got me to thinking - how long should I expect these speakers to last? Or any good speakers for that matter? Does the foam eventually break down? Issues with general wear and tear? Appreciate your perspectives!

Depends entirely on if and when you go looking / listening up the food chain! There are several models up from the Olympica Nova Vs and of course other speakers worthy of a listen.
If you really want to see how long those speakers last I recommend you don’t go listen / look at other speakers. The SF’s are great speakers. However, people change!  Good luck and enjoy!
If this has been mentioned before then ignore. Although we are all supposed to believe that things made now are better because of the new materials and technology available that is not always the case imho. I use on a daily basis speakers made in 1978 and 1990 and they both sets are working fine and neither have put a foot wrong during all that time. Of course grill foam disintegrates and has to be replaced but that's all in my experience. Treating the speakers well and not subjecting them to excessive heat, humidity or physical abuse will add to their life. 
It would be interesting to ask the company how they believe their speakers  should last?

Check the wiring.  PVC is a commonly used jacket material. It continues to outgas over decades and the chloride oxides copper. 
Bought a pair of ADS L810 II's in 1978. Used them until about 5 years
ago. Passed them on to my brother and as far as I know, still making sounds. Only issue I ever had was blown tweeter fuses when my worthless step son used them while I was at work,
