I have used the same two Bergantino 1X12 cabs (an HT and an EX) since 2005. I figure these cabs have seen somewhere between 1000-1200 gigs plus Lord knows how many hours of practice time. So I'll wager the cabs have at least 5000 hours of time on them if not more.
I just got another one in the mail today, an EX112. This one was used, but I doubt it was ever played. Definitely a low time cab. It looks entirely new, the carpet is perfect, no dust anywhere on the cone or back panel.
Mine look like crap compared to this one even though they have always been covered.
After A\B ing the three cabs, I am impressed. My cabs sound slightly warmer (and I mean slightly), but thats it. After all I have put them through, they sound essentially like the newer one.
I have a feeling these cabs will still be going strong a long time from now! Just thought I'd share!
