Default Speaker deterioration?

Anyone have any insights into speaker life? What is a reasonable life

variation on the 'How high is up?' theme, so it's pretty much unanswerable.

The reason for asking is the Sangean 909 is slowly losing it's voice.
It's been a slow deterioration, with the sound getting more garbled as
time goes on.

I'm hoping it's the speaker and not the audio section, but I haven't
opened it up to look yet. The earplugs have all gone into hiding, so
that's no help.

Hmm. That's not a bad question IMO. How often do you use your 909?
Does it have the better speaker mod by C.Justice? If so - I would be
asking him about it. I know that I had mine modded out by him and it
'really did' make a difference on the audio as well as other parts of
the receiver. Give us some more details Mike :-) How long have you
had it etc.?
