cheapest speaker made in the last 10 year that can beat any speaker made before 1970?

Your back! Where have you been?

I would say it’s the cabinet technology that has improved the most and made the music better. Along with better parts too. 

Before 1970? That would be 1969.  The year of Woodstock (that I didn't visit until 2019).  And, the Texas International Music Festival that I DID visit in 1969 (skinny dipping was highlight).

I remember how important Linear Air Spring tweeters were in my life.  As well as (classic) rock delivered via Assymetrical Charged Coupled Detector Tuner.  And, the precision and tactile feel of the Sonic Holography Autocorrelation Preamplier.

Everything else is a bit fuzzy.

Vitntage speakers with disintegrated foam surrounds are a bit "compromised" in the low end.

asvjerry, you poor thing. My mother taught deaf children to dance...by feeling the beat through their feet as she pounded on the floor. There is music and fun in the world, and all you have to do is listen however you can.
