What speakers are they ? That is unusual, 4 pairs ! Curious to know, as I only know a few ...High humidity is supposed to cause them to fall apart. Or placing them under the sun every day ... drawback of rubber is that it's slower and darker-sounding.
If the drivers were from Scanspeak and Vifa, you shouldn't have problems with their new drivers for many years, as I've had the Proac Response 3 for over 5 years driving them real hard before selling them, and it's been past a year after the sale and the buyer is still happy with them ... and I live in a tropical country, and had the speakers in my living room with no airconditioning during the day, all windows closed, extremely humid ... everyone who's been to my place knows this ... technology has advanced, and foam surrounds are now treated for humid climates, at least for Scanspeak and Vifa.
They will perish in time, but easily replaceable, and last for another 5 years+ ... and Scanspeak and Vifa still have the driver model even after over ten years ! Foam is just so fast and articulate, like my favorite Naim DBLs ....
