Speaker Technology over the last 10 years

So what I am hearing, please correct me if I am wrong, that there has not been leaps in speaker technology say compare to CD players over the years.

Then the true improvements in speaker technology is more dependent upon the source. Since those sources have dramatically improved that combination along with speakers technology has contributed to the most improvement in overall sound quality?

Has the been any speaker company that has made a huge difference in sound quality?

Rleff,

I have a Cary 306/200 CD player and a Moon Audio Integrated similar to the LSA integrated amp. My room is 12 x 15.

Wow. A lot of great responses. I do like my Legacy speakers and because I have recently upgraded my amp and cd player I thought I might do the same with the speakers.

Still undecided however the response gives me some reassurance that if I did decide to keep them I wouldn't be losing much. The old saying "you can't lose what you never had."

Thanks

That's what makes this hobby fun, everyone's preferences and opinions. I love speakers with cones, I want something maintenance free, that meets with the wife's approval and is musically satisfying to me.

One of the things I have observed over the years is that the only people that are impressed with my system are people who buy their stuff from Radio Shack or Best Buy. I don't have any audiophile friends so to speak of where we evaluate each others system.

I guess what is important to you is all that matters. It's like being married, some people who never choose your spouse and I guess they would never choose your speakers, either.

Thanks for all that responded, I have learned a great deal.

Rebbi,

That's a great point. Value certainly plays a role. It is quite possible to purchase speakers today at considerable less money than in the past and receive more value for better speakers.

Maybe we could consider what speakers offer the best value at a certain price point.
