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.

It’s only the Tungsten electrode rod that probably needs replacing, as that’s how long they last. Just like on my Magnat MP-02 Plasma’s.
I bought the right diameter rods on ebay got a machine shop to cut them to length and dome shape the end.

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.
