[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 5746631, member: 549629"] I understand where you are coming from, but if we are looking at this in terms of many years, as lot of the drivers being mentioned here implies, I have to disagree. Car audio subwoofers, for one example, have come a long way since the days when I first got into it. A PPI Pro is a good example, in its day it was fairly technologically advanced. Ferrofluid cooling, flat carbon fiber/nomex cone, proprietary basket... the things that made it unique and stand out. But by today's standards, for the average guy's sq sub the ppi pro is pretty lacking in comparison to current bl optimized, long excursion and small enclosure intended subs. Has anyone reinvented the wheel? No. But enough changes over time that the enthusiast will want to 'upgrade', and generlly for good reason. I own a pair of ppi pro's. Bought them back when they were top of the line. Love them. Probably wont ever sell them because they just... have that coolness factor I guess. But I certainly dont use them anymore.
