Are advances in technology making speakers better?

B&w every few years upgrades there speaker line and other manufacturers do this to.  But because I have the earlier version does this mean it's inferior? Cable manufactures do the same thing.

How much more effort is required too perfect a speaker? my speaker is several years old and all the gear and the speaker are all broken in. And now I'm being told to upgrade.
 

I am so confused what should I do?

I can relate, I have had the Evoke 20s for a year and a half and I couldn't be happier! Pure magic.

@grislybutter you know what's funny? I posted about my experience on Excite vs Evoke and someone replied "maybe the name of the lines is even more appropriate than it would seem". BRILLIANT observation! I found that to be incredibly ironic and insightful! AND TRUE😁!

So maybe I can upgrade my B&w 802 d3 to d4.  Not sure they're all that much better but I may do it.  Hate getting rid of the d3 speakers, maybe I can put them in the back of the room as rare speakers.

@jurnia

look at it the other way: what will validate it for you that you DON'T need to upgrade? Get some fancy speakers from Crutchfield, try them out and maybe you will find out how madly in love you are with your B&Ws 

@kingbr  I am somewhat confused with the Dyna names but you may be right :)

Maybe I buy Magico speakers.  Always been curious about those. The really expensive ones are really big.
