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.

anybody solve edge clamp distortion in....wait for it.....panels, yet ?

of course i own panels
Some vintage speakers can rival any modern one ....

I speak about normal speakers not the cutting edge of the last technology at a price point so over the usual price point that most people cannot afford them nor even contemplate the idea...

Myself give me ANY relatively good speaker i will make it sound greater than you ever think it was able to deliver....

I know how...

It is called acoustic....

No speaker, especially those about which people boast the most, can beat the room where they work....Simple basic acoustical science....


Give me a straw and i will destruct or redeem a room/speakers couple , with the ratio of his lenght and his diameter and his location in the room ...Thanks to Helmholtz....

This is the power of acoustic laws, unbeknownst to consumers speaking about their last favorite speakers and selling them to be the best, vintage or new..

I prefer to sell acoustic enlightenment instead ofย  fad or "taste"....

But it is always more difficult to experiment than to buy something....Vintage or new....

Anyway a good vintage design with good materials for the enclosure can beat any new design less refined it is an evidence....Add to that a great controlled room and the distinction between vintage and new lost his power almost completely....

Acoustic is the queen in audio....ย

@spacecadet65 Improvement of metal dome tweeters is one change that I've heard since the 90's. Back then, my impression was that many of them were harsh to the point of being unlistenable. Newer metal dome tweeter designs seem to have provide a level of precision while taming the harshness.
My old BIC VENTURI - v-830 and - v630 are still awesome!

ย  ย  Some of the best speakers I bought.ย Still in use.ย Cerwin Vega D-9โ€™s still in use.ย
