Difference between today and yesterday.


What are the diferences in sound between speakers made today and those of yesteryear?
Are there some from the past that will still sound better than most speakers made today
Given that most of the electronics and especially turntable tonearms and cartridges have imporved so much that this may be the first time ever some of the old models have an opportunity to sound their best, no?

I think speakers that are older were built better.Case in point,my old Polk Audio SDA1 monitors are built better than any new Polks.(wood finish instead of simulated wood plastic wrap crap,metal backing plates for SL1000 tweeters instead of the cheap plastic mounting plates of the newer models)Just try to pick one up and you will also see what I mean,these speakers weigh close to 90lbs. apiece.I doubt to many polk speakers today weigh that much.I guess I am saying is they do not build them like they used to.
