That they closed is sad and a loss to the audio world, but it does not diminish the value of what they have achieved and created.

Speakers can generally go on for a couple of decade before needing to re-foaming or other issues, provided you take good care of them. I am not worried about my ProAcs, even if Mr. Tyler is not around. Just because the company is not around, does not mean the speakers will become lazy and stop making the good music that the owner has come to love.

But, we are not in OP's shoes. So good luck to OP in whatever he chooses to do.

I somewhat agree with Toronto416. I've also heard that the speakers are relatively indestructible (blowing) as far as the drivers are concerned.

My concern would be if someone put a broomstick or something through a driver. Who will fix it? Are there parts available out there?

Nora Jones will just have her property manager deliver something else.

……does Thiel ring a bell with anyone here ?

Of course I sold Jim’s time and phase correct speakers and met him many times. Sad - RIP.

I think you are being way to hard on yourself… You rolled the bones and the universe threw you a curve ball… so far without any musical impact….

Grace n peace….

……you are correct in stating no negative musical impact but a huge financial impact and that hurts !
