Every few months someone releases technology that seems to be revolutionary, but goes nowhere a couple of years later. Some tech gets acceptance and even imitation. Some goes wildly successful.
Ideas that are a huge success:
- Acoustic suspension
- Bass Reflex
- Soft dome tweeters
Some ideas, well, it's not so clear:
- Perfectly time aligned speakers ilke Thiel/Vandersteen
- ESL
- Line Arrays
- Plasma tweeters
- Transmission line
What tech have you seen come and go, was it worthwhile?
Best,
E
