I have a pair of sonus faber Guarneri homage, circa 1999, still in perfect condition. However, SF speakers require some yearly maintenance. The leather will fade if not conditioned properly & the wood needs TLC to. I would contact SF & get their maintenance suggestions. The leather will have issues if not maintained properly, fading and potential cracking. I leave mine covered when not in use to protect the wood.
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!
