I have a pair of B&O speakers from 1988, with no reason to upgrade them. They still sound as good as new (and look better than newer speakers) after I installed

I have a pair of B&O speakers from 1988, with no reason to upgrade them. They still sound as good as new (and look better than newer speakers) after I installed new surrounds on the speakers.
You can choose to buy well and half things last a lifetime. So far these speakers have given 30 years of pleasure and I have parts on hand (a baggie with some extra surrounds) to ensure they last another 30 years.
You don't throw away your house when the paint peels, do you?
- grogenaut 9y agoThose B&O speakers are likely completely repairable and came with a manual that talks about how to do so. This home pod will be obsolte in 2 years.
- spitfire 9y agoThey absolutely are. I have the complete wiring diagram for every piece of equipment I own. As long as the ROM's in the master/cd players don't die on me I can replace every electronic part in them for decades to come. Which is why I chose them, and why I'm buying more to fill the rooms in my house. I can control them, repair them and fit them to suit my tastes.
- grogenaut 9y agoWhat's the max age on roms? No way to dump them? I just finished overhauling a 12" craftsman lathe tonight. It's from 48. The company who bought out the lathe business from sears still makes and sells the parts for it.
