Speaker Technology over the last 10 years


I bought my last pair of speakers 13 years ago, Legacy Classic. How much has speaker technology changed since then? I know in terms of amp and cd player there has been tremendous advancements but what about speakers?

Are speakers for the most part dependent upon the source? I appreciate any comments.

There are a few companies using field coil technology again these days.

Some vendors that have been around for awhile have offered evolutionary tweaks to their designs that perhaps offer more refinement.

You can certainly spend more than ever on new speakers these days if you like.

Nothing really revolutionary though that moves what is possible to a new major level that I can think of.
Trelja,

I have a similar background and what you say rings true.

That makes me feel even better that the designer and management force behind the speakers I use is an MIT trained engineer who seems to be an independent spirit and has been evolving, delivering and supporting essentially the same products for a good 30-40 years now I would say.
I agree that there are very good values in speakers these days and certainly more good ones to choose from at price points comparable to 30 years ago.
Johnk,

I like what you said.

This country needs more people who think like you!
