How Long Do Maggie Ribbons Last?

Planar Speaker Asylum

Welcome! Need support, you got it. Or share your ideas and experiences.

I know they say around 5-7 years, but I'm getting concerned. My speakers were made in 1985. I bought them with blown ribbons in 1989. I sent them to the factory to be restrung and 19 years later I'm still listening to the same pair.

Maybe it's because I'm using a 44WPC tube amp on the HF?

I'd be interested in other folks' results.
