It seems that most speakers don't last longer as they start having one issue after another as the years go by. When it comes to selecting a good speaker, what is your target and how do you always go about picking the one that can last longer with no issues?

As an oldie in the business of buying speakers (for my home, for my kids at school and even for the offìce), I will be glad if you take some of these tips that I will share with you seriously.
The first one is that before you even start checking out models, you should be sure of what you are buying the speaker. Is it for the bedroom? For camping activities? Or for house parties? It is when you make this decision that you can be able to know which model to go for.
Another thing that I always say is that it is very important to understand what a good speaker should cost. If you are planning to get a good speaker, you should be putting aside around $90. I mean anything around 40 dollars is not what I can rate that high.
The other thing that I look at when getting a quality speaker that can last longer is what features it has and newer physical outputs and if possible, test all the features before deciding to make payment for the speaker.
This time is also a good time to buy as the Black Friday deals are a time when newer models are in the market with some good discounts that you can take advantage of.
Finally, you should look at getting speakers that come with a warranty. Most top brands that are sure of their products won't mind giving a longer warranty. So, go for them.
I wish you the best of luck if you are yet to pick one.

The thing is that most speakers are expected to last for at least 10 years before they begin to give any issues whatsoever.
I purchased the Klipsch RF-7 floorstanders in 2003 for $1500 a pair which means I've used them for more than 2 decades. It was one of the most expensive speakers then, but I needed to get a sound device that could withstand the test of time.
To be honest, those speakers haven't had a major issue since then aside from the rubber surrounds on the woofers, which I spent $150 to replace when they were worn out.
Also, the good thing about Klipsch is that their spare parts are readily available in the market, so you won't spend so much getting them if there is a fault with the speaker.
I don't know the kind of room that you wish to use them in. Could you mind sharing?
