hello
how long is the average life-span of near-field monitors ? i know it depends on environmental conditions but i'm talking about average if they r well taken care of. i have a genelec 1030a that i bought 7 yrs ago n i'm thinking it's lo end response (sounds more flabby?) has changed some what. i hope i'm wrong. anybody know about these things ? thanks

I use the ADAM S2As for nearfields - Liked 'em so much I bought a pair of the S4C-As (for extra "balls" & to impress people).

BTW - Jules, do you use the little foot thingies on yours, or just let 'em sit on the floor?
