> If you needed speakers for a permanent outdoor installation with speakers than need to last decades - does such a thing exist ?

If you want to keep the same speakers for 35 yrs, your maintenance company better get in a COMPLETE replacement system (including a full set of speakers) as spares. We used to pride ourselves on providing better & longer service spares than anyone else in the business but even we drew the line at 20 yrs. Older than that, we would try to replace and/or repair with a near equivalent. Service Dept. used to see us at R&D for advice and I learnt a lot about arcane glues & paints for sealing Super 8RSDD cloth surrounds. And you'd better make sure your maintenance company will still be in business in 35 yrs. > I can think of one. Who were you thinking of? ____________________ Having said that, modern speakers don't usually go wrong if used within their limits but you need to cater for the odd boot and of course floods & cyclones for your outdoor application. ______________________ I would go with 'outdoor' speakers for use on small boats. They do go wrong but are cheap to replace with something 'similar'. Plastic cones best and no fancy stuff like tweeters. _______________________________________________ Sursound mailing list Sursound@music.vt.edu https://mail.music.vt.edu/mailman/listinfo/sursound - unsubscribe here, edit account or options, view archives and so on.
