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?

No question about the amazing performance of Magico…. very fast  and detailed. But watch out what you pair them with… they also reveal upstream flaws, hardness, and hash really well.

You not only MUST upgrade often, you have to come here and tell everyone ad nauseam what you bought and how great it is so others can see how smart and sensitive you are. I do this, and everyone thinks I'm great. See? It works!

@op - you would be far better off spending the price difference on upgrading the rest of your signal chain than going from D3 to D4 B&Ws.

If you are thinking about Magico, you should also listen to Wilson and Borresen for further points of comparison.

The rest of my signal chain is in great shape.  I invested quite well in all the stuff supporting the speakers and i can now accommodate superior Magico speakers. 
 

My philosophy is to avoid the upgrade cycle by buying top of the line products.  My speakers were not top of the line and I need to change this.

Most important component in a system is the speakers which are supported by a cast of characters that live in a rabbit hole.
