Audiophiles say speakers, regardless of the materials used to fab them,
degrade with use.  Does anyone know if they degrade without use (i.e. what's
the shelf life of used speakers)?  I'm guessing only AUDIOPHILES would know
this answer but I'm interested in replacing mine with Ken's new ones, if the
answer is 'No.'
