I have had a set of these speakers for about 11 years. They survived a hurricane in 2007 when a tree fell into my office... they have gone strong until today... and I'm pretty sure there is a short in the subwoofer at the connection... I didn't realize the cords had gotten stretched and pulled at the connection... So this is my fault that only 1 channel is working now.
I will be purchasing a new pair today and hope to get at least another 11 great years of use out of these... hopefully without a hurricane.
