older speaker designs


So I haven't really paid attention to hifi for a while for many reasons, but am now looking for new floor standing speakers.
My focus has been on the Revel Performa3 f206 lately for a couple reasons. Good performing speaker, size fits where they will be placed, and spouse approval factor is high as they are good looking speakers.
My concern is this. I think Revel unveiled the f206 back in 2013 or 2014. As the design is now closing in on 10 years old, should that concern me? Is the pace of technology innovation/advancement in speaker design about to make the f206 obsolete? Should I be concerned?

I agree! It was an excellent speaker then - and remains an excellent speaker today! Plus buying on the used market allows you substantial savings!
I have speakers 70+ years old.. They sound as good as they did new.  In a lot of cases, BETTER... What is suppose to wear out? Surrounds?
The old Co/Ax RED center have cloth surrounds, they will last as long as the cones, 100+ years. Silicone is your friend..

Everything requires maintenance. I don't care who makes it.. I've bought speakers at least 25 times with LOOSE drivers, screws missing.. Sound REAL bad....

Two hours later.. Better than new.. It's always air leaks, whether surrounds or loose drivers.

Why better? I didn't have to break them in.. :-)
