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

 Reading you i know why i missed your wit ...

My deepest respect to you...

But....how much can one sharpen Occam's razor before the blade is gone?

I was unhealthy and sad because i sold my house lost my acoustic dedicated room... Now i am healthy with a new audio system and no need to a dedicated room , i worked 6 months on a headphone...

Then i am back here and in a sonic heaven  the best ever with no trouble  and no need to tune a room...

i give you my very best wishes thanks for your kindness...

Do not forget the human element. We are all built similar and differently including our ears, hearing, and brain. No one sound may be exactly alike by the individual. Then as we age this too may play an active role in hearing. This is why multiple answers
