How old are your speakers

My Ohms are almost 10 years old now. My Merlin VSMs are a few years older (but have been upgraded) and my Parsifal Encores are a year or three older than yours.

My B&W Electrostatic Speakers (DM70 Continental) are from 1970. They have been reconed; Still work really well.

Quad 57's - design from '57 but the panels have been restored recently by WP and are not that old.

B&W 801's s3 were bought in '94 and were a few years old then. Still sound as good as when I brought them in initially. (will outlast me)

Acoustat Model 3 from the 70's - completely refurbished, and modded.

None of the above are my primary speakers.

Guesstimating here but I traded a pair of Alon Lotus's for my current JMlabs Micro-Utopias back in 2006. The speakers were definitely used at that point, if I had to guess 3-5 years old so built somewhere between 2001-2003. I love them and they suit my room and system perfectly they're not going anywhere!

Combo of 1950s-70s and modern most is about 50 years old. Have pairs from 1930-40s working wonderfully. Try that with weak chinless modern dynamic designs.

I purchased my Aerial Acoustics Model 7 new in 2001. They are my primary speakers that I use regularly, and they are without question (at least in my mind) the best audio purchase I've made.
