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.

I have to say, this is a disappointment. Despite the cool physics, I've not been impressed that they were audibly so much better than other world class devices.

Best,

I have not heard them, but with how 2020 went down, I put a lot more hours on my speakers than the year before. I might be needing a second set of new tweeters very soon. So for the maintenance alone I would steer clear.

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.
