I am very appreciative of that wonderful review on the Las Vegas CES show.
There are things that can be thought of to improve Hi-Fi but most of the time many newcomers come along re-inventing the wheel. And it really is just some marketing tricks hope to get rich quick.
As to loudspeakers, many just keep doing the same old thing of 2 way or 3 way boxs of all shapes and sizes with cross-overs out of the same old computor program that is just fashion. The old Quad 57's still after 40 years stand up to being near perfect OK they can only produce 107 dB spl. The original Tannot Golds and the Altec A7s are still pretty amazing. Yamaha NS10s just show how bad 2 way boxes are with poor phase intergrity. hense all the studios end up with near mono to fill the 'hole in the middle'

If you have some really concrete ideas the pursue them and turn the world on it's head.
