Sound quality of Newer versus Older speakers

From a sound quality perspective, is there anything that newer speakers are doing better than older speakers. For reference, I have a pair of Monitor Audio Silver 300s which are amazing me with their ability to balance detail retrieval with an ability to avoid harshness (with the right ancillaries). My subjective perception is that this type of balance between resolution and refinement was more difficult to find in speakers from 20-30 years ago.

My old BIC VENTURI - v-830 and - v630 are still awesome!

    Some of the best speakers I bought. Still in use. Cerwin Vega D-9’s still in use.

Will put my aging BIC venturi V-830’s against a lot of speakers.    They have been my go to since the early mid 90’s. Even the little brother V-630’s are sublime. 
I swear by these speakers.  Even the new reincarnation of BIC are just ok, but, nothing like the 90’s BIC, or those BIC Realta speakers, almost bought them, but at the time, didn’t have the scratch.
I kick myself!
