[QUOTE="Eish, post: 573574, member: 2900"] Early 80s, laser tech allowed introduction of metal dome in drivers. Mid 2000 B&W introduced the diamond tweeter. more recently we saw the use of neodymium-based magnets on many mainstream products New application tech today allow manufacture of superthin aluminium or ceramic-coated drivers. Things that weren't possible years ago. Forget the modelling techniques used today to design speakers and control sound properties. Then there is the other story of material fatigue over time, which will no doubt affect old-timer speaker. Perhaps, if my grandkids buy a Giya for R2000 in 2050, compared with a Sony for, say R5000 brand new, they will find the Giya much better. Only because it uses high end materials that the new kid on the block can only dream of. So, comparing the Blaupunkt speakers of 19-eleventeen against today's...errr. Tallboys would be closer to the truth. [/QUOTE]
