Idiot. Technology has changed.

Utter nonsense. Ferrite magnet technology has been available
since the early 1950's. Manufacturers had substantially larger
magnet assemblies, specifically, larger Bl products since
the early 50's. The technology WAS there. You just don't know it.

Utter nonsense. Speaker technology hasn't changed, huh? How about
amplifiers?

Most stuff sold back then was not nearly as "junk" as most stuff sold
today...

There's more functionality and acousticalt performance in a $400
boom box today than there was in a 1960's Magnavox stereo console.
Hell, there's even more magnet on them.

Try reading. There's more functionality and acoustical performance
in a $400 boom box of today than there was in a similarily or higher
priced Magnavox system of 40 years ago.

So what? That doesn't make the old stuff "junk".

Christ, what's next, all computers made in the 50's were "junk"
because you can buy a Dell for $400 that blows them away? Sheesh,
what a maroon!

You claimed the stuff back then
is less "junk" than the stuff sold now,

In general, it was. What we have today is greatly improved
technology, and greatly improved manufacturing efficiencies. The
stereo gear sold today to the masses IS "junk", more so than what was
sold back in the "old days" you lament.

and other than your personal
opinion and insistance, you have no data to back that up.

Bull****. The hardware still exists as evidence.
