So, my question is, what was the last major upgrade to your system, and your last minor... -
I'm just curious, how long does a good pair of speakers especially B&W speakers last?
I read around by googling and the most I can find about is that overtime the paper or foam deteriorate over time or hardens? Also crossovers are most likely to be replaced in the future and maybe...
