Are advances in technology making speakers better?

B&w every few years upgrades there speaker line and other manufacturers do this to.  But because I have the earlier version does this mean it's inferior? Cable manufactures do the same thing.

How much more effort is required too perfect a speaker? my speaker is several years old and all the gear and the speaker are all broken in. And now I'm being told to upgrade.
 

I am so confused what should I do?

Hi jumia 

Thanks for the question.  In a word, yes.  Through my personal journey, maybe the greatest advance to loudspeaker technology is general knowledge of room/speaker interaction, placement and room tuning.  Later, came the pro-world of electronics, lossless sources and modern design and technology DIY loudspeakers.  Add to that, highly skilled DSP to 1/100th of a decibel, tailored to the room.  

Today's computer aided designed materials...drivers, crossovers, open & box designs, interior dampening, suspension and isolation solutions forge modern speakers unmistakably towards a progressive, ever analog future.
