Hi Fons, All of the people I have approached so far have been professionals (so far Meyer, Martin audio and Bose) - if you know of any company that would deliver a maintenance package covering all technical infrastructure for 35 years (speakers, cabling, 8 channel player) then please point me in their direction. Ideally a company would take care of that side and be responsible so I could focus on content, I really dont want to be responsible for that side of things - however for any budget 35 years is a big commitment to make - possibly an unrealistic one. Ive a lot of experience with creepy crawlys and speakers as a lot of the stuff I do is outdoors and has included one at research station in virgin rainforest in Ecuador - the Eden project in particular had a particularly robust ant that ate through even the toughest of 16 amp cabling - used to send the technicians up the wall. Eden bought dozens of really hi-end weatherproof speakers, they lasted a year an a half..... conversely I've seen some Behringer ms10s that withstood months of tropical storms in the Amazon - so price doesn't always reflect durability either . In this case though its temperate climate and there is budget which any company can contact me about via PM.
